NADD Conference Survey - 2007 Dear Colleague: The mission of the National Association for the Dually Diagnosed (NADD) is to advance mental wellness for persons with developmental disabilities through the promotion of excellence in mental health care.  Training and education is a major part of accomplishing our mission. As costs are rising and budget cuts occurring within the field, NADD is exploring ways to continue to provide conferences and educational opportunities in a cost-effective manner for attendees.  I am respectfully asking for your assistance and input regarding conferences by completing this short survey. I thank you in advance for your assistance.  Sincerely, Robert J.
