I will be attending the American Public Health Association (APHA) 2024 Annual Meeting and Expo in Minneapolis, MN on Oct. 27 to 30. I was wondering if anyone else from the NACDD Cancer Council will be attending. If you are planning to attend, in the chat, please feel free to share any sessions you are a part of or that you plan to attend (I'll be attending this roundtable discussion with my colleague Rachel Schramm!). I also wanted to share this open house event that the American Indian Cancer Foundation is having - there is more info below and a registration link from Melissa Buffalo, who is a member of the NACDD Cancer Council Leadership Team. The open house is taking place Tuesday, October 29 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm CST. I will be attending the open house and am looking forward to it! Also, please feel free to email me at katie.jones@hhs.iowa.gov if you're planning to attend and would like to meet up sometime during the conference!
Here is the information about the open house from Melissa Buffalo (with more info at the RSVP link):
Han Mitakuyapi (Greetings relatives),
We are excited to invite you to our new office space's blessing and open house near Downtown Minneapolis! This is a special opportunity to come together, meet our team, and celebrate this new chapter for the American Indian Cancer Foundation.
Join us for an afternoon of community, connection, and celebration as we open our doors. We hope you share this moment with us and tour our new space, which will serve as a foundation for continuing our important work.
