Introducing Dana Connor

Dana Connor has accepted an invitation to join the Board of Directors of Birdshot Uveitis Society of North America. 

Dana, who lives in the Pennsylvania area, is a birdshot patient whose personal experience drives her involvement with BUSNA. She knows firsthand the challenges of navigating this rare disease and is passionate about helping raise awareness, supporting fellow patients, and plans to put her marketing background to work for a cause that hits close to home.

Dana recently spoke of her early birdshot experiences. "When I was first diagnosed with birdshot,” she said, “I found myself searching everywhere for information — and BUSNA was one of the few places where I could turn. I joined the board because I want to help more patients find BUSNA earlier in their journey. The resources are there. We just need to make sure people know about them." 

A marketing executive with over 20 years of experience in life sciences and health technology, Dana has held senior roles in both large organizations and smaller startups. Throughout her career, she has specialized in brand strategy, thought leadership, and demand generation. She has helped several complex healthcare organizations tell their stories and reach the right audiences.

The BUSNA board welcomes Dana and looks forward to working with her in the future!
