Are you an ASH Grassroots Network member or an ASH member interested in hematology-related issues facing the U.S. Congress and governmental agencies?

If you answered yes, please join the ASH Grassroots Network for breakfast at the ASH annual meeting on Sunday, December 7, from 7-8 a.m. in the Santa Rosa Room at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. During the breakfast we will highlight the 2003 achievements of the Network and discuss issues that will top the Network's agenda in 2004. We'll address major advocacy topics such as NIH Funding, NCI / NHLBI / NIA / NIDDK Research Portfolios, Stem Cell Research, and Medicare Reimbursement.

Please RSVP for the breakfast at your earliest convenience by contacting ASH Government Affairs Assistant Stephanie Kart at skart@hematology.org or (202) 776-0545 x 1163. In addition please let us know of any topics that you would like to discuss during the breakfast.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!
