ERC ENDOMETRIOSIS AWARENESS
The ERC's Public
Awareness Committee raises awareness among citizens with and
without endometriosis in the communities globally and locally as
well as in media and print awareness giving support concerning
Endometriosis awareness and funding for research. Given the
nature of public awareness and letter writing campaigns, it is
not unusual for a specific project to take several months to
accomplish and get results back from television shows, magazines
and the like. As a result, new campaigns will be undertaken at
various intervals throughout the calendar year. Your
participation in the ERC Public Awareness Committee in no way
obligates you to any specific projects; you are free to
participate in any of the various campaigns as your schedule and
interests permit. The ERC commends all people willing to
participate in all of our programs to spread truthful awareness.
Please note: due to the
highly confidential and proprietary nature of certain
activities, you may be asked to complete a Confidentiality Form
prior to participating in certain Committees.

The ERC's Legislative Awareness Committee raises awareness
among policymakers and government officials, helps to
implement Resolutions and Bills, and lobbies for support
concerning Endometriosis awareness and funding for
research. Given the nature of governmental affairs, it is
not unusual for a specific project to take several months to
accomplish. As a result, new campaigns will be undertaken
at various intervals throughout the calendar year. Your
participation in the ERC Legislative Awareness Committee in
no way obligates you to any specific projects; you are free
to participate in any of the various campaigns as your
schedule and interests permit. The ERC was responsible for
the passage of several awareness Resolutions, including the
United States' first National Resolution, H.Con.Res. 291.
