Southern Obesity Prevention Strategy
Pillar Workgroup Conference/Planning Calls!
THI and Southern Obesity Prevention Strategy workgroups are hosting planning calls for each of our pillars in January. You are welcome to participate in
any and all of these calls if you are interested in learning more about each strategy for obesity prevention across the South. Our goal is to identify key players, determine what type of resources and educational opportunities would be helpful and outline
next steps. Each group can determine how best to proceed.
We have identified a "Focus Month" for each strategy as well and during that month we will bring together experts on each specific issue to share insights
and offer guidance. All groups will continue to work during the interim with a goal of reconvening and reporting progress at the Southern Obesity Summit in Nashville in the Fall of 2013!
