AWN Radio, Workshops, and an Invitation Back to the White House

Today is the kick-off to what looks like a really busy month for the autism community.  With that said, please let us know what you or your organization has planned for April, and we will add it to our announcements for our AWN Radio broadcasts throughout the month. Email us at:  [email protected].

We at Autism Women’s Network have a busy month ahead, and we are excited to see April arrive in full bloom.  First, AWN Radio will increase the number of broadcasts in order to highlight various events, community news, and authors throughout April.

Secondly, AWN Workshop Committee is moving forward with organizing the first of our workshops.  You may recall that AWN received numerous invitations from organizations and families to host workshops after our attempt to win a Pepsi Grant in 2010.  Now we at AWN have the task of planning, organizing, and funding these workshops. AWN appreciates the kindness of so many who have offered lodging and host sites, and this will no doubt go far toward accmplishing our goals.  We will keep you posted as our plans unfold in 2011/2012.

Lastly, the Autism Women’s Network will be represented again this year in Washington D.C. at a White House Event in observation of World Autism Awareness Month.  Executive Director, Sharon daVanport confirmed the invitation this afternoon.

All of us at AWN wish you a very Happy Autism Acceptance Day and a fantastic Autism Awareness Month!
