Welcome Letter from 2011 Children's Congress Chair Stefany Shaheen

It is my honor and sincere pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 Children’s Congress website. This site is the center for our growing collection of Children’s Congress-related web activities, including our on-line application and interactive blog.

This web site offers dynamic features such as videos from the past Children’s Congresses, media clips and articles and delegate profiles. Each week we will update the blog with entries from delegates, celebrities, Members of Congress and JDRF’s leadership. For your family and friends back at home to share, we will even continue updating the blog during Children’s Congress in June, 2011.

This site serves as a resource for deadlines, coming events and provides links to existing resources. I hope you enjoy convenient access to information through the JDRF’s Children’s Congress online features.

Thank you again for your continued support of JDRF. Together we can make a difference by working together to advocate for a cure.

Best regards,

Stefany Shaheen
Chair, 2011 Children’s Congress
