There's An App For That! 

Hello all!

Every Child Matters 
September 30th was Orange Shirt Day, and it was so inspiring to join calls with folks wearing orange in support. If you're not familiar with Orange Shirt Day, it's a day to support truth and reconciliation, honor the survivors of Indian residential and boarding schools and the children who never came home, and commit to the enduring truth that every child matters. Thank you to everyone who took part.

The Conference App Is Live! 

The OPHA Annual Conference & Meeting is now live on Whova, the app we use to communicate with conference attendees. You may have already received an email letting you know. If not, follow the link to download the app, and log in with the email you used to register. We love this paper saving way to connect with you! 

If someone registered on your behalf and you don't have the email that was used, reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll get you sorted.

Heather is putting the finishing touches on the agenda that we'll post on our website. If you're in the app, you can already see it there! We'll keep adding details as we get closer.

A few things to call your attention to:

Pre-Conference Workshop: Public Health Shows Up: Getting Out the Vote & Building Civic Engagement

A Quick Ask from Our Friends at the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health
They're running a short statewide survey of public health professionals and would love your input. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes, participation is voluntary, and responses are anonymous.
Take the Survey!

Please share the survey with colleagues across Oregon, especially those who aren't OPHA members or might not get these emails. Information like this helps us all communicate public health more clearly to every community.

We can't wait to see you all soon!
