As we enter June and reflect on the incredible progress we've made over the past 20 years, we are filled with a renewed sense of pride and determination. Our new tagline, "Championing Prevention. Shaping Policy," encapsulates our mission and vision for the future. Our focus remains steadfast on prevention, policy, and community, all of which are crucial to our mission of eliminating asbestos-related diseases. By working together, we have made significant strides in education, legislation, and public health.
Save the Date! We are thrilled to announce that our 2024 Asbestos Awareness and Prevention Conference will be held in Washington, D.C. on September 14, 2024. This event is a pivotal moment for us to gather, share knowledge, and strategize on advancing asbestos prevention and policy. Enrollment will begin soon, so stay tuned for more details.
