The American Lung Association of New England recently selected NESEA as a recipient of its “Healthy Air Award,” which is granted “in recognition of research, education, and advocacy efforts focused on protecting and enhancing indoor and outdoor air quality.” I met with their Development Manager, Bianca Walker, yesterday, and was very interested to learn that the ALA’s mission is much more comprehensive than fighting tobacco use, asthma, and lung cancer. In recent years, the ALA has also been focused more broadly on both outdoor and indoor air quality – two arenas in which NESEA members have made clear contributions!
The award will be presented at the American Lung Association’s “Breath of Life Ball,” to be held on Friday, May 7, 2010 at the Springfield Marriott. NESEA will be represented at the event, and if you’d like to join us, you can learn more and purchase tickets at http://www.mrsnv.com/evt/home.jsp?id=2885.
