Workgroup Information Nutrition Coordinating Conference |
|
| Summary | Efforts (and all funds) this year have been directed towards organizing the combined HR coordinating conference update. The Human Resources conference-planning group included representation from the Nutrition Coordinating Conference, and Human and Community Development. As planning progressed, the collaboration expanded to include the California Communities Program. The conference, “DANR Communities and Sustainability” is planned for June 4-6, 2007 at the UC Davis Alumni Center. The conference theme is building and celebrating connections for sustainable, healthy, and just communities. The vision for the conference is that participants from all sectors of the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources and their community partners can share successes, resources, and challenges in the work for community sustainability. The conference will provide an opportunity to strengthen and inspire new collaborative partnerships. |
