We are so grateful to the FASD community who helped give FASD a seat at the table September 16th-18th, 2024.
“The entirety of Impact Week was, dare I say, transformative. The Symposium, a gathering of minds from far and wide, opened my eyes in ways I hadn’t even begun to imagine. It wasn’t just the content, but the profound sense of community and collaboration that truly moved me—especially as we worked toward long-term solutions. The gala was nothing short of impeccable, a moment of sheer awe that took my breath away. Hill Day was electrifying, letting me channel my inner political science enthusiast while engaging with representatives. Witnessing the intersectionality that FASD United champions has me utterly excited for what’s to come this year. But none of this would be possible without my incredible team and the dedicated advocates and volunteers who made it all happen.”
-Sophie Sissi, FASD United Media Director
