Dear DD Council Network members:

Several Council staff have asked if they need to “go back” and add the disclaimer on previous projects/activities/products.  

We recommend each Council identify the current federally funded projects/activities/products that are staff led or conducted by a sub-recipient and add the disclaimer (if not already present) and for products that have already been developed, include the disclaimer on any re-prints, re-posts, or revised versions.  For items like a website, newsletter, or electronically produced items, Councils should make the addition.  Otherwise, focus on moving forward and strongly consider including this requirement in your Council policies for staff and sub-recipients so the practice becomes routine.
