Online Dialogues for Healthy Communities
The Institute for Local Government's Healthy Communities program, in collaboration with the Cities, Counties and Schools Partnership will host a series of three online dialogues during the summer and fall of 2008. This online learning opportunity will allow city and county officials around the state to connect with peers and issue experts on ways to develop policies and strategies that will reverse negative health trends related to physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, and environmental hazards.
Participants will be able to log in any time during a 10-day period for each online discussion to ask questions, share stories, and download educational resources posted by expert panelists and other participants. The collected wisdom will be preserved on the ILG and CCS websites for public use. This is an opportunity for local officials to get to know some peers better and to tap into the experiences of many city and county leaders and policy advisors from all over California.
