FibroTalk's Advocacy
Team
We're looking
for a few good men and women to join FT's ADVOCACY TEAM.
The Advocacy
Team will be dedicated to raising awareness of fibromyalgia
and chronic fatigue syndrome throughout the world. We
hope that by consolidating our efforts, we can raise
the profile of FMS/CFS in the medical community and
society at large.
Many of our
members have excellent organizational and advocacy skills.
Others are just plain feisty. All of you have a vested
interest in this project and the results we hope to
achieve. Here are some of our objectives:
*
Promote greater awareness of FMS/CFS
* Target
governments, politicians and leaders of the medical
community with letter-writing campaigns
* Create
brochures and educational materials for family members,
spouses, and friends of FMS/CFS sufferers
* Encourage
television/radio/other media outlets to feature FMS/CFS
(the "Oprah" factor)
* Other
(our strategies are evolving so ideas are welcome!)
We hope to hold
general meetings of the Advocacy Team on Yahoo Messenger.
If you'd like to join us, please make sure (i) you have
a yahoo account and (ii) you have downloaded
yahoo messenger.
If you have
questions about the Advocacy Team or if you need help
with Yahoo messenger, please e-mail fibrotalk@gmail.com
If you're interested
in joining the Advocacy Team, please e-mail fibrotalk@gmail.com
with the words "Advocacy Team" in the subject
