Doubletree Hotel Sacramento

Sacramento, CA

Together Migrant Health Promotion and NWRPCA are offering

two post-conference promotor/a program

intensive trainings for different audiences, January 28-29:

Training 1

1) Promotores(as) de Salud:

Leadership with Head, Hands and Heart

January 28, 1-5 pm; Space is limited to 20

registrants

DESCRIPTION

Facilitators from Migrant Health

Promotion will begin this interactive workshop by building on participants’

existing knowledge of the roles that guide the head, the skills that guide the

hands, and the personal and professional qualities that guide the heart of a promotor(a). As a result of these

multiple responsibilities, promotores(as)

quickly become identified as leaders, which can be

challenging and

exciting all at once. What does being a leader mean when

building community strength and capacity? What does leadership mean within the

community-empowerment philosophy of Popular Education? How can a promotor(a) become an effective and

respected leader, yet balance personal and family needs? Different styles and

types of community leadership will be discussed.

Target Audience:

New promotores(as), program

coordinators and others who want to learn promotor model fundamentals.
