Description

The Friends of The 60 Summits Project email discussion group allows us to keep our friends and colleagues up to date on progress and noteworthy events as our initiative spreads across North America -- and allows them to ask questions, give suggestions for improvement, and identify states or provinces that are ready for our work.

The 60 Summits Project is propagating the new work disability paradigm across North America. We are using a grass-roots approach to bringing these new ideas to all 50 US states + 10 Canadian Provinces = 60 Summits. For basic information about The 60 Summits Project, go to www.60Summits.org. In particular, go to the State/Provincial Groups page to see the latest status for a particular jurisdiction.

We assist local groups in planning and producing multi-stakeholder workshops and then in forming action-oriented consortiums or coalitions. The purpose of our project is to make sure that the recommendations for improving the stay-at-work and return-to-work process made in the American College of Occupational & Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) paper entitled "Preventing Needless Work Disability by Helping People Stay Employed" get off the paper and become realities.

In order to send us an email, just push "reply" to any message you have previously from 60SummitsFriends. Yahoo sends all messages to 60 Summits Project staff for review and approval before being released to the group at large, which allows us to intercept mistakes and gaffs -- we call this our Humiliation Prevention Service. :)
