FROM: Denise Pomeroy, Health Services Director
DATE: August 15, 2017
SUBJECT: Approve Long Distance Travel September 5 through September 8, 2017 to Atlanta, Georgia for Sherylin Taylor, PHN, Public Health Nursing Director, Public Health Division; Fully Funded Through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Sherylin Taylor was selected to participate in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's two year Public Health Nurse Leaders Program. She is one of twenty-five Public Health Nurse Leaders nationwide that were selected and is one of two from the state of California at the local level.
The focus of this program is to develop a group of senior level Public Health Nurse Leaders (PHNLs) who have the capacity to lead individuals, organizations, and communities to build partnerships around a Culture of Health, and to integrate public health nurse leaders and their work on building a Culture of Health into the existing state action coalitions (ACs) of the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action. This is Session 4 and the last of the two year program. This travel is fully funded through the Robert Wood Johnson foundation.
Participation in the program allows Sherylin help to increase individual Public Health Nurse Leaders and Action Coalition members' self-awareness to improve their ability to work collaboratively with others and will provide leadership practices/tools for improved community collaboration.
As Health Services Director, I fully support Ms. Taylor's attendance.
Thank you for your consideration of this request for long distance travel.
