Summary: Join Jeff Usher, Program Officer at the Kansas Health Foundation; Ed OâMalley, President and CEO of the KLC; and your fellow KLC alumni as we discuss the impact of civic leadership on the long-term health of Kansas communities. Together, KLC alumni will explore questions such as: What does leadership have to do with healthy communities? How might you identify the stakeholders in your community, engage diverse groups and foster comprehensive partnerships? What does it mean to explore tough, systemic interpretations about encouraging healthy behaviors in your community? Usher will also discuss KHF's new, expanded Healthy Communities Initiative request for proposal (RFP). Through this RFP, the Kansas Health Foundation is seeking to support communities as they facilitate policy, practice and environmental changes that will help Kansans make healthy choices such as being more physically active, eating nutritious foods and not using tobacco products.
