From the President’s Desk
April is quickly passing and the flowers are growing in my hometown…
Our GAAPP community is growing too! Welcome to our three new member organizations from Argentina, China and Colombia!
I also want to give our best wishes to AAIDA formerly led by Lauren Dunlap from the US as her board has decided to close the organization and grant all intellectual property to GAAPP. Lauren is a passionate advocate who will continue to engage as a patient and we wish her well in new endeavors!
Finally, we are super excited to share the two webinars below and trust you will find them Informative. We look forward to hearing about all of your World Asthma Day activities and please send photos of events held.
Thank you all for your continued efforts to improve the lives of those living with allergies, atopic and airways diseases!
All my best,
Tonya

Professional development opportunity: GAAPP Academy presents an informative session on ‘Engaging with the World Health Organization (WHO)’ this 25 April at 3 PM CET.

Advocacy & Awareness for Immune Disorders Association (AAIDA) merges with GAAPP:
As you know, 2020 brought with it a multitude of challenges. Small nonprofits were especially negatively impacted with more than 1/3 forced to close. Unfortunately, these challenges have negatively impacted AAIDA. In order for the AAIDA mission to live on, the AAIDA Board of Directors has voted to formally dissolve and merge AAIDA with GAAPP. As long-term partners, we are honored to have the legacy of AAIDA live on.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions at info@gaapp.org.
