Together 2 Goal® Goal Post Newsletter

August 2016 Edition

Welcome to Goal Post, our monthly newsletter highlighting Together 2 Goal^® and the latest campaign news and updates.

Throughout this summer, our campaign team has been working hard to support your collective efforts to improve care for 1 million people with Type 2 diabetes – including planning for the fall and beyond. Please note:

Monthly Webinars: During the first year of the campaign, our monthly webinar series focused on each of the 11 campaign planks. In 2017, we will expand the focus to other topics of interest. We need your help in determining topics! Please email topic and speaker recommendations (self-nominations are permitted) to together2goal@amga.org.
National Day of Action: The inaugural Together 2 Goal^® National Day of Action for diabetes will be held on November 3, 2016. Stay tuned for more information on how individuals and organizations can participate!
