Re: Expedited Clearance for Let’s Move Museums, Let’s Move Gardens Call for Participation

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is requesting expedited clearance for the Let’s Move Museums, Let’s Move Gardens Call for Participation form.

This form needs to be published by May 16, 2011 to coincide with a potential White House announcement of Let’s Move Museums, Let’s Move Gardens, an initiative to enlist museums in the fight against childhood obesity. The announcement is timed to reach an estimate 6,000 museum professionals who will be attending the annual meetings of the Association of Museums and the Association of Children’s Museums scheduled to convene in Houston, TX in mid May.

The form helps to assure accountability of participating museums and to enable the sharing of best practices in delivering important public health messages.
