The conference, "Creating the Future We Want to Be: Transformation through Partnerships" promises to be CCPH's best yet as hundreds of community and campus partners convene for 4 days of skill-building, networking and agenda-setting!  Whether you are new to community-based participatory research, service-learning or community-campus partnerships and looking for basics to get started, or you've been involved for years and seeking more advanced knowledge and connections, this is one conference you will not want to miss!

We invite you to share your knowledge, wisdom and experience by submitting one or more proposals to present at the conference. 

Proposals for skill-building workshops, arts-based discussion sessions and posters are being sought for these conference sub-themes:
*Journeys of transformation
*Sustaining partnerships and the outcomes they achieve
*Building capacity
*Innovative and promising partnership practices
*Community-based participatory research as a tool for social justice
*Advancing health equity
*Interprofessional, interdisciplinary and/or intersectoral collaborations
*Youth and student leadership
