NYSOMA has had a tri-fold brochure that we've used as an advertising and marketing tool to help promote the program. We'd like to make this pamphlet available to all those involved. Take a look at it, print out some copies, and share it with those who you'd like to 'inform' and 'educate' about the program in New York. Get it here as an Adobe Acrobat Reader .PDF file.
