An ANR Program Teams Conference will be held at the Rec Pool Lodge at UC Davis, Feb. 7 - 9, 2012.
Program teams planning to participate thus far include:
- Healthy Behaviors for Preventing Childhood Obesity
- Youth Science Literacy in Nutrition, Agriculture and Natural Resources
- Youth Development
- California Communities
Preliminary plans call for discussion of cross-cutting issues and concerns at the beginning and end of the convening for these program teams, with the bulk of the time spent in individual program team and/or workgroup meetings.
Among the topics to be discussed are collaborative work on existing or new competitive grant proposals, proposals for new ANR academic positions, and development of the teams as ongoing “communities of practice” to advance strategic initiative priorities.
These program teams are still in a formative stage, and we welcome the participation of a wide spectrum of ANR personnel. Please mark Feb. 7 - 9 on your calendars to join us. Details on the agenda and meeting logistics will follow in the coming weeks and will also be posted at http://ucanr.org/sites/HFC.
Other program teams that wish to meet on these same dates to achieve efficiencies should contact Sherry Cooper as soon as possible so she can secure meeting space. She can be reached at slcooper@ucdavis.edu and (530) 752-1581.
