REALNEO is a founding affiliate of the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council (GCLAC) - and REALNEO actively promotes "Lead Safe Living" in NEO. For the past several years it has been my honor to work with 100s of amazing people associated with GCLAC, the most innovative and important community redevelopment initiative in Ohio, eradicating lead poisoning and its consequences in this most lead poisoned region in America. We have made great strides and enter a transition stage where we are "institutionalizing" lead poisoning eradication by making it core to public awareness and action for healthy living, centered on healthy homes and environment. So the lead poisoning dialog will no longer be centered only on the plight of poor urban children and toys from China but on lead poisoning's impacts on all of society, and community strategies for mitigation. This year's GCLAC annual meeting, at the Cleveland Natural History Museum, focuses on this turning point in our community approach to lead poisoning, as the topic of the world-class meeting is "Lead Poisoning and Urban Redevelopment". You are invited to attend... see detailed information on the free event and how to register in the message from the event coordinator, Jacqueline Knox Kelly, below.
