Dear
Colleague,
Below

month of August. We hope this helps you stay better connected to our
events, activities, and opportunities for involvement!
News
from CCPH
Al
Richmond Appointed as Next CCPH Executive Director, Effective September 1! With over 25
years of experience in a career that has uniquely blended social work and
public health, Al Richmond brings to the position both vision and passion
for partnerships as a strategy for health equity and social justice. The
CCPH board’s announcement concludes an extensive 6-month search process
that began when founding Executive Director Sarena D. Seifer announced her
decision to step down. Visit the CCPH
homepage for details.
CCPH
Board Establishes Sarena Seifer Leadership Fund! The CCPH Board of
Directors has created the Sarena Seifer Leadership Fund to honor and
sustain the legacy of her leadership and deep commitment to partnerships
for social change. The fund’s purpose is to ensure a consistent and strong
CCPH voice and influence in the policy arena. During the fund’s silent
phase, over 60 founding contributors have donated over $17,000. We aim to
double that amount between now and the end of the year. Learn more and make your tax-deductible donation today!
How
Can Communities Ensure That Research is Ethical? The new report, Redefining Research Ethics Review: Case Studies of Five
Community-Led Models highlights diverse approaches
communities can take to reviewing, shaping and approving research before it
has even begun. The report features firsthand insight into the ethical
issues faced by diverse communities engaged in research, demonstrates how
community-led models of research ethics review ensure protections for both
individuals and communities and makes recommendations for community groups
and other key stakeholders. Register today for a free webinar with the
report’s authors, scheduled for September 23rd from 3:30-5 pm ET.

Opening Keynote
Video from CCPH Co-sponsored “What Went Wrong?” Conference. Last
month’s conference in Minneapolis provided a space for those working for
social justice to come together in active dialogue about what it means for
communities and universities to practice deeply engaged research that is
reflexive, questions power dynamics, and works toward change. Ten members
of the Morris Justice Project from NYC gave an invigorating & informative keynote address. Past
CCPH board chair Susan Gust, who served on the conference planning
committee, reports that “One of their many unique dissemination techniques
were to write some of their analyzed data results in chalk on the sidewalk!
They called such techniques, ‘sidewalk science.’" Also in attendance were
past CCPH board chair Daniel Korin, CES4Health editor Cathy Jordan and CCPH
member Sara Axtell.
