First Focus

Building on the energy surrounding cross-agency collaboration in Washington, DC, the theme of the 2010 National School-Based Health Care Convention is Joining Forces for Our Nation’s Students. Register today to learn about the latest best practices, resources, and tools; and network with other SBHC professionals.

The Convention will begin with an Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill. A rally will kick-off the morning, giving participants the remainder of the day to visit their state’s members of Congress. The day’s events will culminate with the official opening of the 2010 convention, including a reception, poster session, dinner, and keynote speakers. In May and June, NASBHC will host a series of web-based trainings on lobbying skills, campaign goals, and advocacy day logistics to prepare new and experienced advocates – visit the website and check your inbox for further details.
