Subject: Identifying Health Champions


> Hello:

> I am developing community based activities for use by community leaders
> and health professionals to encourage parents to eat more vegetables and
> fruits.
>
> To achieve this, we are including some tips on health promotion and
> community collaboration.  One of the tools that we would like to see
> included in this manual is information or tipsheets on how to identify a
> community "champion" for a health initiative.
>
> Are you aware of any tipsheets or general information on the
> characteristics, the process for selecting and nurturing an identified
> champion?  If so let me know about contacts or web pages I may use to
> pursue this question.
