Together 2 Goal® Goal Post Newsletter

May 2016 Edition

Welcome to Goal Post, our monthly newsletter highlighting Together 2 Goal^® and the latest campaign news and information that is important for you and your team to know. Each edition will also include upcoming dates and deadlines, a spotlight on campaign-related events and successes, and a featured resource for advancing diabetes management.

This month, we want to remind you of an important campaign resource to guide your efforts: the Together 2 Goal^® Campaign Toolkit. AMGA Foundation created this tool to help participating AMGA members implement best practices and address many of the common challenges associated with effectively managing Type 2 diabetes. We encourage you to begin by reviewing the Getting Started Checklist (pages 13-15) and Quick Wins (page 16).

The Toolkit can be downloaded electronically, and we have shipped a complimentary print version to the primary campaign contact at your organization.

As always, please don't hesitate to contact together2goal@amga.org or your regional liaison with questions or for support.

Best,
-The Together 2 Goal^® Team
