Subject: Updated Autism Acceptance Month Coffee Talk information

Greetings,

We previously reached out to inform you about AMCHP's Autism Acceptance Month Activities. Now that speakers are finalized for our coffee talk series, we wanted to share some additional information.  We are really excited about this great line-up of autistic advocates, scholars, and parent advocates and hope that you might share with your staff and partners however you see fit: through your newsletters, website announcements, or social media. I've provided sample newsletter messaging (found below my email signature) and have also attached a flyer specific to each coffee talk.

I appreciate anything you can do to let people know about these events. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Maura
