Event Type:

Conference - www.kingsborough.edu/inner_leader

Conference Description:

Primary Goal: The primary goal of this conference is to inspire current practitioners - who haven't yet considered taking on a leadership role - to seek out leadership training and experience. With the retirement of many community and public health leaders and the demand for new leaders to address health disparities, now is the time to identify front line health workers with leadership potential and to help them prepare to successfully step, jump or be catapulted into leadership roles at the committee, task force, project, work unit, and department levels.

Secondary Goal: While the major focus of the conference is on identifying and inspiring future leaders, the conference also provides sessions for current leaders, co-workers, and educators who are uniquely poised to support the leadership development of future leaders. Diabetes specialists are alerted to leadership opportunities, challenges, and requirements in a variety of roles: education, patient management, fundraising, advocacy, community organizing, etc.

Content: The conference includes five general sessions for all participants including four short keynote presentations and a Conversations with Courageous Leaders panel; separate sessions for aspiring leaders; their supervisors, managers, and mentors; community and public health teachers/faculty and internship supervisors, and, for community leaders, a special new "Mini-MPH Degree" session. There are also two afternoon roundtable discussions for aspiring Diabetes leaders.

Co-Sponsors: The conference is co-sponsored by Kingsborough Community College's Program in Community Health; the Greater New York Society for Public Health Education; and the Brooklyn Borough President's Office. Dozens of community-based organizations, health care and professional organizations, colleges and universities, and other groups are supporting the conference in various ways.

CECH: Up to 7 CHES recertification credits will be available.
