I am so excited to share the ADAO August eNewsletter this month’s eNewsletter; July has seen more progress in ADAO’s goals of advocacy, education and community than ever before. ADAO is delighted by the developments we have seen in the United States and abroad thanks to you, our community, volunteers, and sponsors.
ADAO has seen significant headway in our advocacy initiatives, led by your voices in our “6 Word Quotes for Congress” campaign. In this eNewsletter you can read about our work on Capitol Hill and the encouraging progress of the Safe Chemicals Act of 2012. ADAO is also proud to say our educational initiatives have been well received – we launched our “Top 5 Asbestos Facts” prior to leaving for D.C., and we continue to be a source of asbestos-related information.
ADAO’s community continues to inspire with their strength and actions: from the touching “Ridin’ the Wind with Rob” in Pekin, Illinois, to Barbara Minty McQueen’spowerful work on Capitol Hill, to the international unity urging Bihar, India to halt the construction of an asbestos plant. It is incredible work.
I am excitedly looking forward to ADAO’s 9th Annual International Asbestos Conference, March 22-24th, 2013 in Washington, D.C. Our conference agenda is nearly complete – just wait – it will be the best ever! I personally look forward to welcoming you to our conference as we advance our advocacy, education, and community efforts in one of the most incredible cities in America, Washington, D.C.
