Fat Chicks Rule

Changes

Hello all,

I've decided to take a short break from blogging until January to work on National Novel Writing Month and a few other fiction projects. Not to mention the holidays.

I have also found my weekends have become so busy that I don't have the time or effort I can normally put into my blog posts.

I will still actively post to Twitter, so please follow my twitter feed is you don't already.

When I return to blogging, it will probably be a twice monthly blog post. Not necessarily on Mondays but anytime I see a news item I want to write about.

I have really enjoyed the last ten years of writing a weekly blog and especially interacting with the readers.

ASDAH Conference Call for Proposals

No Blog Post this week as I am very busy. But please participate in the ASDAH conference which will be in Boston Next Year (And I hope to be there).

 

2015 ASDAH Educational Conference Theme & Call for Proposals

With the 2015 ASDAH Educational Conference set to take place July 17-19 in the heart of downtown Boston at the Boston Park Plaza hotel, the Association for Size Diversity and Health is excited to announce its conference theme:

Difficult Conversations:

Building Relationships in the HAES® Community and Beyond

With an increasing number of challenges facing the HAES community, both internally and externally, it’s time to remove the barriers that hinder the conversations that will strengthen ASDAH’s work, resolve and mission of spreading the Health At Every Size® message. Therefore, the entire conference will be devoted to discussions around the difficult conversations ASDAH and the HAES community needs to have.

ASDAH is seeking proposals for presentations and workshops at the conference. For the first time ever, and to ensure that crucial voices are not silenced, presenters are not required to be ASDAH members.

 

Please visit the ASDAH website (http://bit.ly/asdah-2015) to learn about the different kinds of topics and areas that the ASDAH Conference is hoping to cover, though, remember that presentations are welcome in subjects not on the list. All presentations should include consideration of relevant elements of diversity for wider application in multiple environments – one of the difficult challenges already facing the HAES community. See the website for the different elements submissions should include.

Please email submissions to Dr. Jenny Copeland ([email protected]) for review no later than December 15, 2014. Please contact Dr. Copeland with any questions.

ASDAH looks forward to seeing you at the conference!
