2008 HAC Annual Convening
The convening is this Thursday and Friday, August 7th and 8th, in Columbia at the Hilton Garden Inn (3300 Vandiver Drive). MFH will host its annual convening for all Healthy & Active Communities grantees as an opportunity for reconnecting, shared learning, and skill-building. We will include poster sessions highlighting grantees, dynamic and engaging speakers, interactive demonstrations, and a session with the evaluation teams from both the University of Missouri and Washington University.

Please plan on bringing a poster and materials to highlight your program. Information about the round tables and a sign up sheet will be provided at the convening.

Each grantee can send up to two representatives from their organization or partners. The focus this year is on how access to nutritious foods & physical activity and other factors in our environment impact obesity. Please consider these topics when selecting your participants. If you have any questions regarding the convening or who might best represent your organization, please don't hesitate to contact Jenny Minelli (jminelli@mffh.org; 314.345.5531) or your Program Officer.

PLEASE DO NOT BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM, MFH WILL BOOK IT FOR YOU.
