EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Kimberly Baldwin, Program Coordinator in the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program was approved on January 24, 2017 to attend the 2017 Preparedness Summit in Atlanta, Georgia April 24, 2017 through April 28, 2017. The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) added an additional day to the training requiring Ms. Baldwin to travel on April 23, 2017 instead of April 24, 2017.
The focus of this Summit is to explore the factors driving change in our world, analyze how they will impact the future of public health preparedness, and identify opportunities we have today to drive action toward meeting our future needs. The goal is to provide a venue where participants are exposed to current information, research findings, and practical tools to enhance the participants' capabilities to plan and prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters and other public health emergencies.
Registration fees and lodging for the additional day, Sunday April 23, 2017, will be fully funded through NACCHO. Travel and all associated costs, including airfare, meals, airline baggage fees, ground transportation, hotel and airport parking are fully funded through the Emergency Preparedness grant.
As Health Services Director, I fully support Ms. Baldwin's attendance.
