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.
