DESCRIPTION:Mildred Thompson\,\nConsultant; Former Senior Director and Director\, Center for Health Equity and Place\, PolicyLink \n \n\nThis webinar has passed. \nClick here to view the archived webinar. \nClick here to access the webinar slides. \nPresenter:\nMildred Thompson\, Consultant; Former Senior Director and Director\, Center for Health Equity and Place\, PolicyLink \nWebinar description: \nParticipants will begin by defining what community engagement is and clarifying the goals you are seeking to accomplish. We will identify which populations you are seeking to engage\, which level of participation is ideal\, and what is required to sustain engagement. There will be an intentional focus on the ladder of impact\, from a basic one-time intervention\, to a top-ranking governance level participation; and the pros and cons of each. Of importance is the critical component of what actual steps should be taken to make this magic happen and why a “win-win” for both participants and leaders is needed. Our aim is to engage in active dialogue and discussion and not have this virtual webinar framed as a lecturer/listener format. Questions will be welcomed. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to: \n1. Deepen understanding of the principles and values of community engagement;\n2. Increase awareness of useful strategies to engage participants;\n3. Discuss how to avoid landmines and pitfalls related to community engagement; and\n4. Describe how to assess the impact of community engagement efforts. \nAbout the Speaker: \nMildred Thompson is a consultant\, coach and artist\, working with others as a catalyst for change. Her primary focus has been on advancing health equity values\, policies and practices within the Public Health community\, both locally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Appalachian Health Leadership Forum
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED \n\nThe Wild\, Wonderful and Healthy WV sessions will be held at the 2020 West Virginia Rural Health Conference on October 15\, 2020.

Health care and public health boards and leadership are beginning to work collaboratively with other sectors in their communities to address social determinants of health to create a culture of health and unleash economic prosperity in their communities. This is the next step beyond the “population” health work you are currently doing to improve the health outcomes of the patients you serve to focus on the health of your community which impacts the health of all who live in the communities you serve. \nThe Appalachian Health Leadership Forum will focus on two areas. First\, regardless of what type of organization you serve\, board members must consider the way they govern to ensure that they are performing at the highest level. The consequences of mediocre governance can have significant impacts on the performance of the organization as well as the health of those who live in the communities you serve. \nSecondly\, we know that the community conditions where we live\, work and go to school have a great impact on our health long before we ever see a health care provider. Thus\, the Forum will explore strategies related to community health improvement planning to strengthen your capacity to work with business\, government\, religious\, school\, and other leaders to develop a more coordinated\, strategic approach to identifying community priorities and taking coordinated action to achieve local economic and health priorities. \nConference Overview:\nFriday\, May 1st\n10:00 am – 4:30 pm  Governance 101:  Intentional Governance to Strengthen Organizational Performance\n\nTopics include:\n\nDeveloping a Disruption Mindset\,\nSven Berg\, MD\, MPH\, CPE\, CEO\, Quality Insights\nThe Role of Governing and Advisory/Subsidiary Boards in Community Health Improvement\,\nKevin Barnett\, DrPH\, MCP\, Senior Investigator\, Public Health Institute and Governance Institute Faculty\nCEO Turnover in Rural Communities: Solutions for Boards to Consider\,\nAlexander Yaffe and Brittney Frazier\, Yaffe & Company\nEducation v.
