Thank you for participating!

The Inclusive Fitness Coalition Stakeholder Strategy Session was held Thursday, November 8, 2007 in Washington, D.C.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at this meeting to help identify and strategize the next steps for the IFC in its continued efforts to increase access to and participation in physical activity for people with disabilities.

Launched earlier this year, the IFC is making progress in several key areas.  Your contribution is valuable as we develop strategies to expand the impact of the IFC by leveraging the efforts of those working toward inclusiveness in all areas of physical activity.
