The Network’s Vision: Communities where all people can live rewarding and healthy lives www.buildhealthyplaces.org @BHPnetwork

THE NETWORK’S ROLE Connecting audiences across sectors; facilitating two-way communications that is action-oriented and inclusive Providing access to research, best practices, and models demonstration what works Highlighting the health-related value and impact of community development work (Colby) Here is what we think the Network value is: READ SLIDE. I say “we think” because as we engage our target audiences—in community development, policy, investment and finance and health—we will be exploring with them what THEY see as the value of the Network, and adjusting this statement --as well as what we provide, based on feedback. Now—do any of YOU have feedback for us? (Pause) thank you for that feedback. Very helpful and we’ve made note of it. Now moving ahead… Encouraging and enabling measurement of health-related impact
