The 2011 Prevention Conference program is up and conference registration is open!

This year's conference theme, "Using the Power of Our Voices to Influence Change!" emphasizes our focus on communicating the important issues in prevention more effectively - through technology, collaboration, powerful stories, advocacy, and more.

More than 50 workshops are being offered during the three days of the conference including many focused on physical activity and nutrition.

We encourage you to review the conference program on the website and register soon to guarantee the workshops you wish to attend. (Register now!)

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS:
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Our featured speakers include our opening Keynote presenter, David Hunt, nationally known speaker, facilitator, trainer, planner, thinker, and community and organization builder. Mr. Hunt will kick off the conference as he challenges us to look at the role and power that stories play in helping us to work toward prevention policy and systems change.

Day Two of the conference features an address by Frances Butterfoss, a well-respected health educator who brings great expertise and experience in community collaboration. As founder and president of Coalitions Work, Dr. Butterfoss brings a wealth of knowledge on developing, sustaining, and evaluating coalitions for health promotion and disease prevention.

Closing the conference we have invited Lorraine Lathen, President of Jump at the Sun Consultants. Ms. Lathen is a health advocate and has worked in public health and social marketing for most of her career. We look forward to her exciting send-off following three days of workshops, sharing, and networking.
