• National Eating Disorders Conference

  The Eating Disorders Coalition for Research, Policy, & Action is about to take a historic step forward. Participants in a June 29-July 1 conference in Washington, D.C. will write a "dream bill" for eating disorders and present it to Congress. The goal is to end discrimination against people with eating disorders and to provide adequate federal support in treatment, research, and prevention. (DADs is an EDC member.)

  Registration is now open. In addition to the conference at Holiday Inn on The Hill, the EDC will host its 5th Annual Lobby Day, a Congressional Briefing, the 2005 EDC Awards Dinner, and the first State Advocacy Summit.
