Baton
Rouge, La. – The Communities of Color Network (CoC) participated in the Eliminate
Tobacco Use Summit in conjunction
with universities from our neighboring state of Texas on April 25-26. The event was held in Houston, at The University of Texas MD
Anderson Cancer Center. CoC Director, Linda
Early Brown, presented a dynamic and inspiring presentation on behalf of the
Southern University Agricultural Land-Grant Campus/CoC Network regarding the
status of the tobacco policy, cessation resources, methodology of communicating
effective educational awareness programs and the overall impact of the program.
CoC’s
staff gained useful information via networking with other colleagues and
identified potential resources and the exploration of collaborative
partnerships as it impacts health issues. Staff members in attendance included Ryan Sugulleh, Frankie Poland, and
Jamea Hart.
