Plan, populate and execute An Evening of
Health Awareness for Today’s African American Women. Smith-Winchester
coordinated a planning process to identify suitable partnering
and host organizations, physician participants, keynote speakers
and community dignitaries. Several Women’s organizations
were contacted and engaged in an introductory leader meeting
to gain support for participation in the health education event.
A physician’s panel comprised of area practitioners
in diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular disease and depression
was formed to lead discussions of specific disease states
at
the event. Keynote speakers were scheduled, with time allotted
to a book signing for a book co-authored by the speakers.
Evaluation
Surveys were developed, distributed and tallied for a final
summary report. In addition, the agency worked to gain
exposure for the event and the participation of local dignitaries,
through
press-release
distribution and media-relations activities.
