December 11th Luncheon Program - Dr. Beatriz Solis
Dr. Beatriz Solis, the Los Angeles Regional Senior Program Officer for The California Endowment, will be the featured speaker at the AFP/GLAC Luncheon Meeting on Tuesday, December 11th. Her topic is entitled “The California Endowment: Strategic Planning, Policy Implications, Program Funding.”
Dr. Solis will share some background on The California Endowment’s findings from its most recent strategic planning process, including funding trends for the Greater Los Angeles area. Additionally, she will identify project criteria that are most likely to result in funding by The Endowment.
Representing one of the most influential foundations in health policy issues for the Greater Los Angeles region, Dr. Solis oversees and provides direction for the administrative and grant-making activities of the Endowment’s Los Angeles-based program officers working in Los Angeles, Ventura, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. In addition, she serves as a member of the Foundation’s statewide Community Health and Elimination of Health Disparities Team.
Dr. Solis received her Ph.D. in Public Health from UCLA, where she worked for 10 years as the Project Manager for the Center for Health Policy Research.
Please note there will not be a morning Professional Development Seminar in December.
Announcements: Good News / Bad News
For the past several years, GLAC has managed to hold our luncheon prices to $35
for members despite rising facility costs. However, beginning in January, 2008
the luncheon fee will increase to $50 for members and $75 for nonmembers. The price
for late registration or member "walk-ins" will be $60.
The good news is that
this price now includes both the Professional Development Seminar and the
luncheon. Two events - one (very competitive) price. The GLAC Board appreciates
your understanding of this necessary change.

On behalf of AFP-GLAC, it is a pleasure to notify you that Laura O’Neal have

Congratulations Laura.
