CALL FOR POSTERS

You are invited to submit an abstract for a poster presentation at the third annual meeting of the MOTION Coalition of Authority Heath. The theme for this year’s conference is

“Active Living: Designing Healthy Communities.”

the deadline for poster submissions is Wednesday, May 15, 2018

This conference is aimed at people and organizations with an interest in community efforts to promote physical activity and healthy eating. The conference targets MOTION Coalition members, community members, community non-profits, health care providers, federal, state and local legislators and universities. There is no charge to present a poster or attend the conference.

Poster Session Description

Your poster presentation should focus on programs, projects and initiatives that have proven success in promoting or improving physical activity and healthy eating. Presentations that include measurable results or demonstrate innovation will be given preference. Your posters will be viewed by conference participants (around 100 people) prior to the start of the conference (during breakfast) and also during a networking break mid-morning. Conference participants will have a chance to talk with you and learn from your work, so you are expected to be near your poster during the scheduled poster viewing times. There is a limited amount of space, so we will select those presentations that best meet the conference objectives.

· Your abstract should include a description of the project/program/initiative, including the target population/community, and at least two measures of success, measurable outcomes, or areas of innovation that you want to highlight.
