Join California Convergence and Strategic Alliance this coming Monday for a discussion on how to transform the Governor's Summit on Health, Nutrition and Obesity into media coverage for your community.
Call-in number: 1-866-410-9624
Conference code: 572-105-6118
Hosted by: California Convergence (coordinating office Partnership for the Public's Health) and Strategic Alliance
Journalists will be looking for stories with a local angle that link to the Governor's Summit on Health, Nutrition and Obesity, on February 24, with former President Bill Clinton, in Los Angeles. California Convergence is partnering with Strategic Alliance's Rapid Response Network to provide tips, talking points, and support for how to use the event in your local media advocacy.
Join this Media Outreach Conference Call to learn how you can give the press what they need—a great story, with a local angle, about the changes you're working on to improve your community environment.
- Invite your local media to write about your work to change the food and physical activity environment, just as the First Lady and Governor have advocated.
- Help media across the state understand and present the environmental change angle to obesity prevention.
- Build momentum across the state to increase the impact of ENACT DAY and the California Convergence meeting in April, where Convergence members from across the state talk with legislators about state legislation that affects the health of our communities.
