On 4/19/19 S. Poost sent the following email to Heather Zenone:
Good Afternoon,

A few members of ADAPT, myself included, stopped by the office last week in hopes of speaking with you about the Disability Integration Act or HR. 555. My cohort sent you an email soon after asking that Representative Correa cosponsor the Disability Integration Act in this Congress. I am reaching out to you to see if you have had the chance to review the legislation and make a decision about cosponsorship. Attached is a one-pager on the bill to help refresh your memory. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me or Amy Bos in Representative Sensenbrenner???s office.

Thank you!
Sophie Poost

From Sheryl Grossman, 7/17/18-
Met with Janice Bashford, Leg Dir/COS. They told us months ago that they had turned in paperwork for signing on to DIA. I followed up today after an email alerted me to the fact that it is not on congress.gov. Both the Congresswoman and Janice are out of the country for a few weeks, but the front desk staffer remembered me and remembered the mini-celebration in their office that day. She said she would check into it because she thinks they are signed on to that already as well. I checked with Amy Bos who is going to see if it was missed somehow and regardless will reach out to Karen Bass??? office on this issue. We should follow up just to make sure this gets cleared up.
