KDIGO Board Members

KDIGO Leadership:

KDIGO is governed by an international Board, whose members serve for 3-year terms, with one third of the membership replaced each year by new members from the same general geographic areas. Retiring members become members of a Board of Counselors, which continues to review and provide input into KDIGO alongside the Board of Directors, but does not convene or vote on issues. The Board of Directors meets once a year, during the first weekend of December, to conduct the business of the foundation. Between the annual meetings of the Board, the Executive Committee attends to the operations of the foundation, whose day-to-day activities are conducted by the co-chairs of the foundation. The work of the foundation is done by expert committees, work groups, and guideline development groups, which develop position statements or guidelines that are then reviewed and approved by the Board prior to adoption and dissemination.
