As a member, you will have access to interactive tools and resources that facilitate collaboration, problem solving, and knowledge sharing among community-based asthma programs. One of the greatest benefits of joining AsthmaCommunityNetwork.org is the opportunities you will have to interact with other members from diverse organizations and backgrounds, including government agencies, non-profits, health plans, providers, environmental organizations, non-profits, coalitions, schools and more—all who are striving to achieve a better quality of life for people who suffer from asthma.

Thank you for your willingness to share your event with other AsthmaCommunityNetwork.org members! To add an event, you must be logged in. Simply click “Add your event” on the Events page and fill out the name of your event, location, and time. Other AsthmaCommunityNetwork.org members will have an opportunity to RSVP to your event, as well as add it to their electronic calendars. Be sure to visit the Events Calendar page to view local, regional, and national events.

The Discussion Forum is a great way to interact with other community members in the Network by participating in open discussions in which you can post or answer questions. The Blog, on the other hand, gives you the freedom to write a summary on a topic of your choice—tell other members about a success story, highlight an event, or describe a challenge you are facing. Both the Discussion Forum and Blog are ways to engage the community in a greater asthma conversation!

Having a mentor is a great way to develop an one-on-one relationship with another program, as well as receive guidance in challenging areas. To request a mentor, visit the "Connect" drop-down menu at the top of the page and select "Request a Mentor." Insert your contact information and select the topics you would like to discuss with a mentor. You are encouraged to provide background on what you do and the challenges you are having so that we can match you with the most appropriate mentor.

On pages in which you can add content, you will see an "Edit" tab located at the top of the section. Click on this tab to add, revise, or delete your content.

Simply send an email to networksupport@asthmacommunitynetwork.org, telling us about the information you would like to see shared with the community. We will follow up with you!
