Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to the 2011 CDC Disability and Health Partners Meeting. The theme of this year’s meeting, Building Healthy Communities for Everyone, encompasses the work your projects and organizations are doing to improve the health and well-being of all people, including people with disabilities.

The 2011 planning committee is excited to introduce this year’s meeting theme because

it recognizes efforts in many areas to improve health outcomes in all communities. Your work in many of these areas, including health promotion and recreation, transportation, universal design, surveillance, and emergency preparedness, addresses the need for available and accessible opportunities for everyone. We thank you for your work and for your participation in this meeting. The meeting will provide opportunities to join with other disability and health leaders and to reflect on best practices, share success stories, and facilitate plans for continued collaboration and success. It is also an exciting time to highlight local, state and national efforts to ensure policy which results in equity across many dimensions for people with disabilities.

Attached you will find the meeting program that describes the presentation sessions and speakers. Once again, thanks for joining us—we hope you enjoy and benefit from the presentations and discussions this week! Sincerely,

Gloria Krahn, PhD, MPH George S. Jesien, PhD Director, Division on Human Development and Disability Executive Director, AUCD NCBDDD

Thank You Conference Collaborators

CDC/NCBDDD Sponsor Statement: The purpose of conference support funding is to provide PARTIAL support for specific nonfederal conferences in the areas of health promotion and disease prevention information/education programs. Because conference support by CDC creates the appearance of CDC cosponsorship, there will be active participation by CDC in the development and approval of those portions of the agenda supported by CDC funds. CDC funds will not be expended for

nonapproved portions of meetings. In addition, CDC will reserve the right to approve or reject the content of the full agenda, press events, promotional materials (including press releases), speaker selection, and site selection. Contingency awards will be made allowing usage of only 10% of the total amount to be awarded until a final full agenda is approved by CDC. This will provide funds to support costs associated with preparation of the agenda. The remainder of funds will be released only upon

approval of the final full agenda. CDC reserves the right to terminate cosponsorship if it does not concur with the final agenda. All scientific conferences receiving CDC funds must meet CDC's Guiding Principles for the Conduct of Scientific Conferences

and follow relevant policies and procedures indicated under "Securing Approval for Sponsorship of Conferences."
