Road Trip to Public Health Regions
Our co-Presidents-Elect, Jacque Garcia and Mallery Downs, will soon be doing listening tours in each region of the state to get input from members on what they would like to see at our 2012 Annual Conference. We will also be planning other training opportunities and presentations throughout the year and hope to offer a training or speaker presentation in each region. We will keep you posted as events are planned and registration is made available.
