Dear CANCHID colleagues,

This Friday Oct 16 is the deadline for proposals for Community-Campus 
Partnerships for Health (CCPH) conference, May 12-15, 2010 in Portland, Oregon!

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, 
service-learning or community-campus partnerships and looking for basics to get 
started, or you've been involved for years and seeking more advanced knowledge 
and connections, this is one conference you will not want to miss!

We invite you to share your knowledge, wisdom and experience by submitting one 
or more proposals to present at the conference.  Proposals for skill-building 
workshops, arts-based discussion sessions and posters are being sought for 
these conference sub-themes:
*Journeys of transformation
*Sustaining partnerships and the outcomes they achieve
*Building capacity
*Innovative and promising partnership practices
*Community-based participatory research as a tool for social justice
*Advancing health equity
*Interprofessional, interdisciplinary and/or intersectoral collaborations
*Youth and student leadership

We're also thrilled to announce our opening keynote speaker, a community health 
leader who truly embodies the theme of the conference. Elder Atum Azzahir is 
Executive Director of the Powderhorn Phillips Cultural Wellness Center in 
Minneapolis, which works to "unleash the power of citizens to heal themselves 
and build community."  Visit these websites to learn about her work and 
partnerships: http://www.ppcwc.org,

conference in Portland next May!
