Train the Trainer Task Force |

TASK FORCE: TRAIN THE TRAINER 2010
I am pleased to announce that AAI member Lynne Arrowsmith, JD, RRT, AE-C has agreed to be our task force leader for the upcoming Train the Trainerevent being planned for this fall. Lynne needs your help.
Lynne is going to operate through email so that those on the task force will not have to make time for meetings away from the office. Please consider becoming involved.
InJAC is going to collaborate with us on this activity. We are hoping to draw in some of the neighborhood organizations and attempt to train some peer educators in key areas that are in need of the education. We will also focus on invites to school personnel that are responsible for administering the medications. Join the task force and add to our activity planning.
If you are interested please let me know and we will form a distribution list for this task force. We need to get plans in motion as soon as possible since we are hoping to have this event in September / October 2010.
As the coalition manager I am looking forward to the AAI providing educational opportunities to the community in the next year. Education is one of the things the AAI has been successful in the past.

2010 World Asthma Day Poster Winner |
|
Asthma is a chronic condition affecting an estimated 24 million Americans, with an
alarming 55% increase in the death rate over the last 20 years. The World Asthma Day
Celebration and poster contest is designed to generate public awareness for asthma and
its terrible consequences if not treated properly. Children ages five to fourteen entered
their artwork. The posters were up for display and judged at the Peyton Manning Children's
Hospital at St.Vincent for two weeks in early April.
The Annual World Asthma Day event occurred on Saturday, April 24th in the lobby of the
Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, located at 2001 W. 86th Street. Our grand
prizewinner's poster will be displayed on a billboard in their neighborhood donated by Clear
Channel Communications, Inc. Artwork is also used to help educate the community about
asthma through a child's eyes on presentations, t-shirts, note cards, and more.
The Asthma Alliance of Indianapolis was pleased to present the 2010 World Asthma Day
Poster Contest winners. All winners received a savings bond and certificate of their
accomplishment.
The winners of the contest were:
Grand Prize
