[DEHC] 6/21, 2:30-5, Lead Action Collab. Annual Mtg, 622 Wash St

[Rosanne.Foley at codman.org]

On behalf of the Lead Action Collaborative I would like to invite you all 
to attend our Annual Meeting. 
 
When:  June 21st    2:30-5:00
Where: The Medical Foundation
            622 Washington Street, 2nd Floor
            Dorchester, MA 02124
 
We are very pleased to have former MA Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, 
Senior Counsel to the Firm, Proskauer Rose,   as our keynote speaker.  As 
Attorney General Mr. Harshbarger was very proactive on consumer protection 
and public health issues.  He will share with us his insights on lead 
poisoning prevention and on existing legal actions against the paint 
manufacturers 
 
We will follow Scott’s talk with an update on LAC and Boston Blueprint to 
End Childhood Lead Poisoning and a review of the proposed changes to the 
MA lead law.    In 2006 Boston had 460 children diagnosed with elevated 
blood lead levels.  We have the ability to meet the CDC’s goal of 
eliminating childhood lead poisoning by 2010 but we need to recommit 
ourselves to the goals we set in the Boston Blueprint back in 2001.   We 
will use the second half of this meeting to discuss in small groups how to 
reenergize efforts outlined in the Blueprint, to begin to address new 
issues that have arisen since and to gain support for the pending 
legislation.    Come and learn how far we have come and how you and your 
organization can get involved. 
 
Please let me know if you plan on attending or if you have any questions. 
Please forward this invitation to your networks and to anyone you feel 
should be involved. 
 
Sincerely,
Ryan Torres
