NONPROFIT CONFERENCE TO FOCUS ON
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT PERCEPTIONS
A conference for nonprofit organizations working on environmental
and health issues in Kansas will explore results of a recent public
opinion survey measuring Kansans’ level of awareness and concern over
the impact of environmental factors on human health. The survey and the
June 4, 2004 conference are sponsored by the Kansas Natural Resource
Council and Wichita State University’s Geology Department, and funded
by grants from Kansas Health Foundation’s Recognition Grant Program.
The conference will be held in WSU’s Hughes Metropolitan Complex in
Wichita.
The conference agenda is designed to
improve the effectiveness of nonprofits’ education and advocacy work
by replacing assumptions about public opinion with measured facts, and
by providing opportunity for new partnerships as plans are developed
around the new information.
Interested nonprofits may contact Jay
Barnes, Executive Director of KNRC, at 316-686-6043, or jay@knrc.ws
, for more information and to be added to the invitation list. Please
contact Jay by May 10. --Steven Graham sgraham@oznet.ksu.edu
