2. Milestones Autism Research Collaboration Project: goal is to sponsoring an educational session at their June 2020 conference (either aimed at professionals or lay public). We are soliciting members for a workgroup who would be interested in drafting an abstract per the guidelines we have received from Milestones for 2019 (conference director Leslie Rotsky said they will be similar for 2020). Ideas from the group for topics?  (Makenzie)

Notes:
 1. Position Statement Updates: Susan van Cleve working on the Integration one this summer with goal to submit to national by the end of the summer. Beth Heuer had been the lead on the one titled: PNP Role in Supporting Infant & Family Well-Being/Early Care & Education...due to changing life circumstances, she is unable to continue as the lead. She is requesting that one of the others in the workgroup (ideally, Linda Frye, Angie Nash, Diana Inman, or Sallie Porter could take the lead). If none of those folks are willing/able, we should solicit other interested folks. 


2. Milestones: Goal is to submit a talk for their annual conference in June 2020 in Cleveland, OH. SIG board has a set of guidelines we can share and we discussed as a group several possible topical areas, including the "Medical Track," and the "Patient, Family & Caregiver Track," among others. Member Lorrie Stewart has expressed interest in spearheading a workgroup who will submit an abstract on our SIG's behalf. Submissions open early November and close mid-January. I am advocating for starting work on this now to have it ready to go when submissions open, rather than dragging it out through the winter holidays. We need to solicit for others interested in joining Lorrie in the workgroup...Makenzie, are you interested in being in the workgroup? Maybe as a facilitator, rather than a content-writer, if that feels more do-able for you? I suggest this because you are the person who has the relationship with Leslie Rotsky already, and we'd need to leverage that in building this partnership. 

3. NAPNAP/SDBP: 9/13-9/16 in Washington, DC. Pre-conference day when symposium will be held is 9/13. We have a great trio of presenters again this year: Alison Schonwald, MD (DBP physician), Carrie Mauras, PhD (clinical psychologist), and our very own Dawn Garzon-Maaks! Content will focus heavily on psychopharm with ~5 hours of that content for CE within the 8 hour CE day.

Action Items for Kim:


4. Advocacy for Autism Diagnostics:
