[HealthyTribes] 5/8 Self-Management Forum registration is now open!

[Chisholm Laura F]

Dear Tribal TPEP Coordinators,



Registration for the upcoming Self-Management Forum on May 8, 2013 at the Airport Sheraton, 8235 NE Airport Way in Portland, is now available. Attendance at this conference is optional for HPCDP grantees. Please share this announcement with your colleagues and community partners.



The Self-Management Forum, formerly known as the Living Well Forum, is expanded in scope this year to include a wide variety of evidence-based programs and resources. The agenda is geared to appeal to a broad audience of those involved with self-management program provision, coordination, promotion and funding in Oregon. Attendees will include self-management program leaders, master trainers and coordinators; public health and social services professionals; health system representatives (including clinical providers and staff), insurers, employers, and other interested community partners.



An important note: There will be a registration fee for the forum this year. TPEP coordinators may use grant funds to pay for their transportation and registration expenses if it fits into your budget. To assist other registrants with need, there will be limited scholarship opportunities available, which can be requested through the online registration process.



Please register by visiting http://beattygroup.cvent.com/d/ncqfr1 or through the link on the Forum website at http://public.health.oregon.gov/PreventionWellness/SelfManagement/Pages/Self-ManagementForum.aspx.



Forum participants traveling 70 miles or more to Portland are eligible for a paid hotel room the night of May 7, 2013.  You can make your hotel room request in the Forum registration process. A credit card number is required to hold your reservation, but the card will only be charged for no-shows who do not cancel their hotel reservation with sufficient notice.



If you have any questions about the Forum, please contact living.well at state.or.us<mailto:living.well at state.or.us> or 1-888-576-7414. If you have trouble with the registration site, please contact Rosalie Oekerman at Beatty Group: rosalie.oekerman at beattygroup.com<mailto:rosalie.oekerman at beattygroup.com>. If you have questions about whether attending this meeting fits with your work plan and training needs, please contact your HCPDP liaison.



Thanks, and we hope to see you in May!
