Lyme Advocates Workshop

Learn about how to start and grow your group

Friday October 1, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Penns Landing in Philadelphia

(the day before & the same hotel as the LDA/Columbia 2010 Scientific

Conference)

9 AM to 3 PM

Cost: $60 per person (includes lunch and afternoon snack)

FEE SUBJECT TO CHANGE (lower, we hope)

The third annual Advocates Workshop is a nuts-and-bolts discussion of

the topics of greatest interest to those who are considering starting

a Lyme disease group of their own, or for groups already established

who want to learn more.

The most experienced leaders in the Lyme community will help you in

such areas as how to start a new group; determining your focus; legal

issues; fundraising; how to provide education to the public in your

community; setting up Web sites and other on-line resources;

recruiting, training, and managing volunteers; state Lyme legislation

advocacy; and more.

All sessions will be interactive, so bring your questions and share

your experiences.

On-line registration and a complete program will be published soon

(The Hyatt Penns Landing hotel will honor the special LDA conference

rate for Thursday night)

Organized by the Lyme Disease Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania,

Inc. (LDASEPA)
