Happy Holidays! What an impactful year 2021 has been for the ADAO community. Please join me in reflecting on some of the accomplishments we’ve made together this year and thanking our incredible ADAO partners and supporters in this month’s newsletter below.
We look forward to celebrating #GivingTuesday together tomorrow! Please consider donating to ADAO during this holiday season, which can be made as a gift in a loved one’s honor. As a small organization, your support enables us to continue advocating for an end to asbestos-caused diseases and helps bolster our educational and community initiatives. Thank you for your continued support!
A huge thank you to our donors and sponsors who generously supported our educational, advocacy, and community efforts. Thanks to our Platinum Sponsor, Simmons Hanly Conroy, LLC; Gold Sponsor, The Gori Law Firm; and Silver Sponsor, Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney Meisenkothen, we were able to make our 16th Annual International Asbestos Awareness and Prevention Virtual Conference free and available to all through online streaming, greatly increasing access to new attendees and supporters.
Another huge thank you to all our powerhouse Zoom speakers. We successfully hosted 11 Zoom events throughout this year with speakers from around the world to discuss art, advocacy, prevention, policy, and more.
We are looking forward to more success in 2022. We know that the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now (ARBAN) Act has bipartisan support, and we hope to see more movement on the bill in the new year. The bill would ban asbestos imports and use, force EPA to do a legacy study on millions of homes, schools, and workplaces, and provide Americans with the Right-to-Know where asbestos is imported and used.
We’re also incredibly grateful to our Global Asbestos Awareness Week partner, Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), for their continued support in education and prevention campaigns.
Last but not least, thank you to ADAO leadership, volunteers, and interns, who have gallantly led the way for our work to be completed this last year.
If you missed any of ADAO’s events this year, be sure to check out our YouTube video library, and keep an eye on the calendar for next year as we are planning an array of exciting events!
Happy holidays to all. Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year!
In unity,
Linda Reinstein
