Dear CANCHID colleagues,
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is excited to release Achieving
the Promise of Authentic Community-Higher Academic Partnerships: Community
Partners Speak Out!, a new report about community partner perspectives on
community-higher education partnerships. The report is one of many outcomes of
the Community Partner Summit that brought together experienced community
partners from across the U.S. at the Wingspread Conference Center in Racine,
Wisconsin in April 2006. In addition to offering key ingredients and a
framework for authentic community-higher education partnerships, the report
details a vision for these partnerships articulated by the Summit's community
partner participants, along with strategies and recommendations on how to
achieve this vision. The report also describes the work that has been done by
these community partners and CCPH since the Summit in the areas of peer
mentoring, policy development and advocacy.
The report is available as a PDF document on the Community Partner Summit
webpage at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/cps-summit.html#Products (while
you're on the site, check out the other Summit publications and resources)
Learn more about the work that's continued since the Summit, including
opportunities to get involved, at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/cps.html.
We invite community members, community partners and community-academic liaisons
to connect with their peers through the Community Partner Listserv at
https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/communitypartnerlistserv
The Community Partner Summit was co-sponsored by Community-Campus Partnerships
for Health, the WK Kellogg Foundation, the Johnson Foundation and the Atlantic
Philanthropies. Summit supporting organizations included the Community-Based
Public Health Caucus of the American Public Health Association, the National
Community-Based Organization Network and the National Community Committee of
the CDC Prevention Research Centers Program.
