“Without the dedication of these honorees, keynote speakers, sponsors, and our global family of asbestos warriors, we would be nowhere in the fight to ban asbestos and end this horrible tragedy,” stated ADAO President and Co-Founder, Linda Reinstein. “We are proud this year to honor key individuals who have made a tangible difference in our fight against asbestos and helped influence a ban. The list includes many political activists, journalists, medical practitioners, and most importantly, individual asbestos warriors who keep our movement going. We are enormously grateful for their tireless work, dedication, and self-sacrifice. In unity, there is power and hope.”
