ILDS Strategic Plan 2015-2019 Goal: To increase the impact of the ILDS on skin health worldwide. In 2015, the ILDS looked at the global status of dermatology and asked what we could do to help achieve equality. We did group work and strategic analysis. Skin Health for the World is our response. Objective 1 We will provide strategic leadership, leveraging ILDS' international standing and representation to influence global health policies and practices and to educate and empower dermatologists, their societies and the public. Strategic International Leadership and Policy Impact Representation, Sustainability, and Advancement Objective 2 We will enhance representation and sustainability within the ILDS.
