Event Details
This year’s conference will bring together Extension health educators and public health professionals to celebrate the many successes accomplished through research and community partnerships and to explore new ways of working together to improve health outcomes of the people of our nation.
This year’s conference views community and networking through the lens of geographic communities of interest, communities of practice and communities bound together through the virtual world of social networking. The Priester Conference will build on Extension’s long history of “boots on the ground” work in most counties and cities across the nation. It will capitalize on Extension’s reputation for being change agents in local communities by celebrating existing partnerships and making new ones. This year’s conference highlights Cooperative Extension’s coming out party for its online resources and newest virtual community of practice: eXtension’sCreating Healthy Communities!
