I am out of the office most of next week.

I will be out of the office next week starting on Tuesday, October 23rd. I will be back in the office on Monday, October 29th. I am excited to be attending the National Conference on Tobacco or Health in Minneapolis, MN. This annual conference brings together tobacco prevention professionals from around the country. (www.tobaccocontrolconference.org).

I am also presenting a poster at the conference entitled, " Comprehensive Evaluation of Process and Outcome Measures in Community Programs". This poster will highlight all the great grantee program implementations that have taken place throughout Virginia.

I will be checking email, but if you have something of an urgent matter, please contact Donna Gassie, Director of Programs at dgassie@vtsf.org or (804) 225-3619.

Have a Great Weekend, North Region!

What a happy-looking group of grantees!

Thanks to all for attending our annual grantee conference. I was happy to catch up with some of you and hear about your programs. I hope you all learned something new at the conference and got a chance to connect with some like-minded folks!

The link below is to the PowerPoint presentation made by Karen Burruss of the Virginia Department of Health - Tobacco Use Control Project.

She spoke at the Grantee Conference on the second day plenary session and her slides were not available for distribution at that time.
