Putting Partnerships into Practice:
Strategies for Public Health and Highway Safety Collaboration
From Summer 1994Volume I, Number 2
On September 24, state officials from injury prevention, EMS, and highway
safety agencies will gather in Sacramento, California, for a day of discussion
and planning on interagency collaboration to prevent motor vehicle injuries.
This unusual opportunity is being made possible with funding from NHTSA
and CDC and planning by the Health and Injury Committee of the National
Association of Governor Highway Safety Representatives (NAGHSR) with participation
by the State and Territorial Injury Prevention Directors Association (STIPDA).
The commitment of highway safety officials to this effort is clear; many
are providing the resources needed by public health and EMS staff to attend
the symposium.
Putting Partnerships into Practice will also be the beneficiary of some
very creative scheduling. STIPDA is holding its annual meeting just before
the conference and NAGHSR is convening its annual meeting the day after
Putting Partnerships into Practice ends. Holding
both meeitng in Sacramento adjacent to Putting Partnerships into Practice
should maximize participation in the conference by both organizations' members.
