The Partnership as the Leverage Point for Change
May 4 - 7, 2002 in Miami, Florida ~ Hotel Intercontinental Miami
Community partnerships as a strategy for change in health and higher
education have been gaining recognition and momentum in recent years.
In the last five years alone, both public and private funding agen-
cies have invested millions of dollars in community partnerships for
such goals as increased access to higher education, greater civic en-
gagement, and positive change in individual health behavior, espe-
cially among traditionally disadvantaged communities.
While these partnerships are achieving many worthy goals, they also
pose challenges at the community level: *How can we leverage the re-
sources they provide and collaborate across partnerships to maximize
the benefits to communities? *How can we nurture and sustain partner-
ships over time? *How can we assess and document the role that the
partnership itself plays in bringing about change? *Many community
partnerships do not involve colleges or universities as partners, ei-
ther explicitly or incidentally. How can we facilitate the linkage
between community partnerships and academic institutions for mutual
benefit?
CCPH's 6th annual conference will focus on the PARTNERSHIP as the
leverage point for change in communities and higher educational in-
stitutions.
We expect more than 500 conference participants, including represen-
tatives of community agencies, government, foundations, health care
delivery organizations, and leaders from educational institutions,
i.e. academic administrators, faculty, staff, and students.
Among the major themes to be discussed are:
* Partnership Leadership & Governance
* Partnership Assessment & Improvement
* Partnership Principles & Best Practices
* Partnership Outcomes
* Partnership Policy & Advocacy
* Partnership Tools & Resources
* Partnerships in Service-Learning
* Partnerships in Community-Based Participatory Research
