NAAFA has an exciting volunteer position we need to fill. We have a need to hear about and understand medical developments related to weight issues as they happen. We need to arm our members and the public with the true picture faster and more accurately.

WE WANT YOU, if you are interested in the following:

• Monitoring medical journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine, and alerting NAAFA of weight related articles as soon as they are published.

• Keeping track of the weight related research and the actions being taken by agencies, such as the Federal Drug Administration, and alerting NAAFA as soon as information is available.

• Attending meetings and conferences where weight related issues will be discussed, such as National Institute of Health meetings, and providing detailed notes on the discussions and results to NAAFA.

• Informing NAAFA of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other media events surrounding the above items.

• Seeking out weight related information on the internet and providing feedback to NAAFA on the contents of the sites.

• Networking with others involved in similar actions to obtain resources and information for NAAFA.
