Proclamations, or official designations of Myositis Awareness Month, can be requested from elected officials in your city, county, or state. Proclamations are a great way to educate the public where you live about myositis and bring attention to our cause.
TMA’s goal for 2025 is to secure a proclamation from each state legislature! Would you like to serve as a state coordinator for this effort? Please complete our online volunteer interest form, and we’ll contact you if your home state needs a coordinator.
We encourage everyone in the TMA community to pursue a proclamation from an office or institution in your hometown! County executives or commissioners, mayors, municipalities, counties, cities or towns can issue proclamations. Use this guide to prepare a proclamation request in your own community.
Tell TMA about the proclamation, share a copy, and upload a photo when you receive the signed proclamation!If you have any questions or need help pursuing a state or local proclamation, please contact Rich DeAugustinis, TMA Board of Directors Vice Chair: proclamations@myositis.org.
