Community-Campus Partnerships for Health is delighted to announce our 11th 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 (CBPR), service-learning or community-academic partnerships and looking for basics to get started, or have been involved for years and seeking more advanced knowledge and connections, this is one conference you will not want to miss!

Joining us as a major partner is the Northwest Health Foundation in Portland, founded in 1997 to advance the health of the people of Oregon and southwest Washington. The Foundation explicitly identifies CBPR as one of six issue areas it invests in and views it as "as a tool to generate meaningful information about community health and build the capacity of groups united by common challenges to organize and advocate for change."

The conference call for proposals will be released shortly. Watch the CCPH homepage at www.ccph.info for the latest conference details!

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health promotes health (broadly defined) through partnerships between communities and higher educational institutions.

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health and Centre for Community-Based Research Collaborate to Support CUexpo 2011!

Mark your calendars for "Community-University Partnerships: Bringing Global Perspectives to Local Action," May 11-15, 2011 in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada. The Community-University Exposition (CUexpo) is a Canadian-led community-university partnerships conference held every three years. An estimated 130 CCPH members attended CUexpo 2008 and found it synergistic with CCPH's mission, values and goals. Given that synergy and CCPH's growing membership in Canada, we have decided to fully support CUexpo in lieu of our own major conference in 2011. CCPH and the Centre for Community-Based Research (the hosting organization for CUexpo 2011) have signed a partnership agreement that specifies CCPH's role as a major partner in the conference. We will hold a member meeting and present the CCPH annual award at the conference, and CCPH members will receive their usual member registration discount. For more information, email ccphuw@u.washington.edu
