NCBON's 11th Annual Community Reception on Nov. 1
This organization has a rich history of providing community-based programs for girls on the far south side of Chicago as well as the south suburbs.
Their commitment to community-based efforts is aligned with NCBON's focus on to the growth
and survival of grassroots organizations and improved community health. Learn more about this organization at
http://demoiselle2femme.org
.
This year's celebration will also recognize and celebrate Chicago-area Unsung Heroes
of public health. NCBON and its sponsoring partners, the
Community-Based Public Health (CBPH) Caucus of the American Public Health Association (APHA)
and
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH)
, bring the unique focus
of the community voice to APHA. We are guided by the belief that community lies at the heart of public health and that interventions work best when they are rooted in the values, knowledge, expertise, and interests of the community itself.
As a current, past, or future member of the NCBON family and recipient of its many public health offerings over the past 11 years, we invite you to help preserve this tradition by joining us at the NCBON Reception in Chicago and/or by contributing $25 toward its success.

projects highlighting "Youth leading the way to healthier communities." We welcome Chicago youth to join us even if they are not attending APHA. This year's roundtable is at Hyatt Regency McCormick Place: CC23ABC.
Following the Youth Roundtable, the CBPH Caucus Youth Council is convening together and invite you to attend a no-host dinner gathering. The Youth Council hopes to bring together all youth both presenting at the Youth Roundtable and those youth attending the Youth Roundtable to meet, engage in Youth Council and share food. Please plan on extending Roundtable stay to include another 2-3 hours for the YC dinner. (The Youth Council has no funding, so everything is volunteer and pay-your-own-way, but totally inclusive.)
We're looking for sponsors! The CBPH Caucus is committed to mentoring community youth researchers and bringing them to APHA to showcase their work. Just a little can go a long way to support youth travel. Please help us by donating to this effort.
