****From the office of Public Relations****

The Public Relations Department currently has a few up and coming projects to watch for:
We are trying to compile a database of reputable motility specialists and GI doctors for a referral network. G-PACT is hoping to have a readily available network of Physicians for Gastroparesis sufferers to refer to.  If you know of a doctor please contact the Public Relations Department at publicrelations@g-pact.org. Please include the doctors name, street address, country, email address and phone number.  You will also need to include your full name, phone number, and email address so we can contact you if we have any questions.  If you are a Physician and think you would be interested in working with us and would like more information, please contact the Public Relations Department at the same email address as above.  You may also submit the information directly by accessing the G-PACT website www.g-pact.org/doctorsform.htm.

We are still accepting applications for a Volunteer Coordinator.  This position entails recruiting volunteers, managing the application forms and contacting references, providing each volunteer with necessary information upon acceptance into the G-PACT volunteer program, and volunteer placement. The Volunteer Coordinator will also be directly involved in approving applicants as well, but will make these decisions with the assistance of two other people. Those people include the department head of the area in which the volunteer would
like to work, and Lila Litter, Administrative Assistant 

G-PACT is growing and always looking for volunteers from time to time
to assist in various opportunities within the organization.  If you are interested in learning more about volunteering for G-PACT you may apply to be a volunteer in any capacity and for any level of commitment by requesting an application, or for other volunteer related correspondence, please e-mail Carey at cmamich@g-pact.org and she will assist you.

G-PACT is looking to increase the number of Board members to include
those who are family and friends of people with GP but do not personally have GP.  If you know of someone who is interested please e-mail Carey for an application.
