A Message from the Executive Director of WPAS

I would like to say a word to all the bloggers who visit the FRIDA site. As Executive Director of the protection and advocacy agency that has been investigating what happened with the Ashley Treatment over the last few months, I have been impressed with your advocacy efforts. On Tuesday, May 8, 2007 we will be releasing our report with the findings and details of our investigation. It will be a first step. In the Executive Summary of our report we list a series of next steps that we plan to be involved in over the coming months. It will be a tremendous challenge. I am hoping we can work collaboratively with you on joint advocacy efforts as I believe we share the same goal. Thanks to Amber and all who are associated with the FRIDA blog, Stay tuned. We will be able to say more on Tuesday.

In appreciation,

Mark Stroh

(From FRIDA: Thanks Mark! We look forward to Tuesday!)
