Get Involved in DMD
Be a Community Liaison
Requirements:
The principal eligibility requirement for becoming a Community Liaison besides meeting the responsibilities set forth below, is being affiliated with a local organization that supports DMD. Individuals that do not represent an organization will not be confirmed by the Florida Committee nor AAPD based on experience that organizational backing makes a significant difference in enabling individuals to fulfill the responsibilities.
Community Liaisons should make good faith efforts to do the following:
- If you have not already done so, complete and return the Community Liaison application by the deadline
- Follow the toolkit
- Create a Local Organizing Committee suitable to the size and scope of
event(s); - Participate in, or arrange for a substitute to participate in, Florida committee sponsored, toll-free conference calls;
- Develop a schedule for planning for DMD activities, including firm deadlines based on the recommendations in the toolkit;
- Complete and return a preliminary report form by the deadline (number and names of all participants, update on activities);
- Notify the Florida Committee immediately if circumstances interfere with the ability to coordinate DMD event(s); and,
- Complete and return a final report form on the highlights of DMD event(s) by the deadline
