Request a State Proclamation for IAD 2026

 A proclamation is an official declaration issued by a government official, such as a governor, mayor, or county executive, to recognize a specific day, week, or month for awareness or celebration. 

Getting a proclamation issued by your state or local government can be a powerful way to raise awareness about Angelman syndrome and demonstrate community support.  

A perfect day to do this is for International Angelman Day, which is February 15th each year.

If you are interested in submitting a proclamation, please email KELY@ANGELMAN.ORG  for next steps and so efforts are not duplicated in your state! 

Please note the deadline for your state below in order to receive a proclamation for IAD.

If you plan to submit a request, please fill out this form to notify Kathryn Ely, ASF Family Resource Director, who is tracking this initiative.
