Since 2010, Kansans have collaborated in finding ways to improve our infant mortality rate-a key indicator of community health. And we've made progress. In September 2016, the state reported a record-low infant mortality rate. However, our babies of color continue to die before their first birthday at a much higher rate-Hispanic babies half as much more often, and African American babies twice as much.
We believe all babies deserve to reach their first birthdays. Come learn with us from nationally renowned speakers, local community leaders, and research experts and how to make your Fetal and Infant Mortality Review program more robust and how you can be an instrument for change to help more babies thrive in Kansas.
Hotel Information:
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Topeka Capital Plaza Hotel and Convention Center, and a link on the registration site will allow you to make your room reservation at the Conference's negotiated conference rate. The Conference will cover the hotel room and tax for the night of October 18. Participants must make their own hotel reservations and guarantee the room with a credit card. Once your attendance is confirmed at the conference, the Conference will pay the hotel for your room rate and tax. If you register and are unable to attend the conference, you are responsible for canceling the room reservation with the hotel and canceling your conference registration by contacting the WSU Conference Office at conference.office@wichita.edu.

This training will focus on recent public health initiatives regarding violent deaths, drug overdoses, child deaths and the important role of these professionals in addressing issues.

*It may never be EASY, but it can be much EASIER!

Making Difficult Conversations Worthwhile

Enhance your team members' relationships and ability to identify critical conversations needed to get past deadlock, spark creativity and make real progress when it matters most.
Workshop 2: October 2, 2017
Talk - and Listen - Like a Coach
Award-winning sports coaches listen well, see potential, and sense when to step back and allow a player to struggle or when to provide correction. As managers,these are helpful competencies to have, but they push against the "just tell me what to do and I'll do it" attitudes many team members (and managers) hold.Learn how to increase your effectiveness with more coach-like interactions.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation with full refund up to 72 hours prior to the class. For those who register for two classes and are unable to attend the second, no refunds, but the spots are transferable to another participant up to 72 hours prior to the class.
