Nadeam Elshami Joins Board of Directors of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Mid-Atlantic Chapter

Nadeam Elshami, managing director of the firm's Washington, D.C., office and co-chair of the Government Relations Department, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDFR)’s Mid-Atlantic Chapter. JDFR is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research and was an integral part of Elshami’s childhood after he was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. 

In his role, Elshami will work with his fellow board members to help advance JDFR’s mission, expand its network to corporate sponsors, ensure that Congress remains focused on finding a cure for diabetes, raise funds for the organization’s annual walk and work to ensure its annual gala is a success.  

“JDRF provided resources, stability and normalcy at a pivotal point in my life,” he said. “I understand the responsibilities of the organization first-hand and—having benefitted from them—feel the weight of continuing the valuable work. I want to give back to an organization that was there for my family and me during a time when we needed help the most.”
