Making Connections
The purpose of Making Connections is to provide an opportunity for people with similar professional or personal interests connect over the lunch period on Thursday of the Core Conference.
Individuals who offer a Connection should be prepared to start the discussion and let the group take it from there. They should not plan to present a lecture or promote a product.
State the topic of connection. The topic might be your specific profession, an issue/concern you care about, or an interest you have.
For example:
- Wellness professionals in school districts
- Mental health professionals
- Health and wellness coaches
- Ph.D. candidates
- Funding and budget strategies
- Addressing public health mis-/disinformation.
Intended Outcome
The intended outcome should address what you hope to accomplish by connecting.
Suggestions include but are not limited to:
- Starting a study group
- Starting a professional support group
- Leaning into advocacy.
Making Connections leaders will be responsible for paying the conference registration fee before the start of the conference and for their own travel and hotel expenses. Making Connections leaders will be recognized on their name tags as conference. Applications will be reviewed and accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
