CFS Advisory Committee
update
Media Alert: 9/11/2003
This week the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
has been contacting selected nominees to the CFS Advisory Committee (CFSAC) in
preparation for the committee's first meeting. No formal announcement has been
made yet regarding the date of the meeting or membership of the committee. The
CFIDS Association is hopeful that this committee will help fill the void in
coordination of federal activities and oversight of agency CFS programs that has
occurred since the preceding CFS Coordinating Committee met last in January
2001.
The CFIDS Association will relay details about the committee
and its first meeting as quickly as that information becomes available.
As always, the Association remains committed to ensuring that
the new committee reflects the appropriate experience and representation of all
stakeholders in CFIDS issues.
