Northwest Health Foundation is a major partner for the eleventh annual conference for Community-Campus Partnerships for Health taking place from May 12-15, 2010 in Portland and we invite you to share your knowledge, wisdom and experience! You are encouraged to submit a proposal for a session or poster presentation at the conference.

The conference, “Creating the Future We Want to Be: Transformation through Partnerships” promises to be CCPH’s best yet as hundreds of community and campus partners convene for 4 days of skill-building, networking and agenda-setting! Whether you are new to community-based participatory research (CBPR), service-learning or community-campus partnerships and looking for basics to get started, or have been involved for years and seeking more advanced knowledge and connections, this is one conference you will not want to miss!

With its focus on Creating the Future We Want to Be, the conference seeks to empower individuals and partnerships to create a just and sustainable future, so that we need not be passive participants in the status quo or mere witnesses to the change determined by others. With its focus on Transformation through Partnerships, the conference seeks to highlight the power of partnerships to lead and inspire transformation at all levels.

The CCPH conference draws diverse participants who share a commitment to social justice and a passion for the power of partnerships to transform communities and academe.  All CCPH conference participants, whether they are community activists, students, faculty, CEOs, foundation program officers, community health workers, or public health researchers, are embraced for the knowledge, wisdom and experience they bring to the table.
