State Obesity Action Roadmap Sign-On
Provide Your Support for the 2011-2014 Roadmap
Dear Partner: Last year organizations formed the Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity to address the epidemic rates of obesity in Illinois. With 62% of Illinois adults overweight or obese and one in five of Illinois children obese, IAPO was created to call for state-level action to reverse the dangerous and costly trends. IAPO set out to develop the State Obesity Action Roadmap to guide Illinois on a healthier path through changes in the way we work, play, learn, eat and live. The solutions IAPO calls for are bold and at scale with the problem we face. This Roadmap, a 2011-2012 policy agenda, and a three-year agenda resulted from the State Obesity Action Summit held on December 3, 2010. We are asking for your organizational support. Join the broad group of stakeholders by joining the Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity and endorsing the State Obesity Action Roadmap and policy initiatives for 2011-12 today.
