Task Force Information:

Women In Government has launched a three-year campaign to raise awareness of diabetes and to improve access to treatment and long-term care for this disease. This year we were thrilled to present our Second Annual Diabetes Task Force to our legislators. The conference provided legislators with a unique opportunity to focus on this topic with colleagues and experts from across the country.
