III. Brainstorming of Breakout sessions:
We decided to proceed with four sessions to begin acquiring speakers with: Research Methods, Funding for interventions (possbibly a morning and afternoon session), City planning , Media images & advertising.
Speaker Pool can come from economics, dentistry, social medicine, public policy (public policy institute @ Duke), School of Library Science.
We have made having a quality session on issues pertaining to Native Americans a priority. Everyone should thinkabout potential speakers that we can use for this session. Potential speakers: Jon Jefferies from Hillsboro, reestablishing Native American Culture (contact Barbara).
We discussed giving speakers more direction when asking thenm to speak so that our sessions continue to fit with the theme. Potential Exhibitors can be funders.
