ANOTHER FEDERAL TBD WORKING GROUP MEMBER QUITS

QUOTE- "A member of the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group, Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner, resigned on March 6, 2018. Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner also served as one of two co-chairs on the Access to Care Services and Support to Patients Subcommittee.

Three non-federal subcommittee members were nominated by the other members to take on this leadership role. Early next week, subcommittee members will vote on their preference to replace Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner.

The results of the vote will be considered along with other information by the Chair and the Vice-Chair of the Working Group. A replacement for Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner to serve on the Working Group will be appointed by Secretary Azar."

Gotta say, good thing Pat Smith of the Lyme Disease Association hasn't quit!

And Phyllis Mervine and Lorraine Johnson from Lyme disease.org are still in there too!

Good for them!
