We are winding up on the research for the Girls Health in Girls Hands Project and you did a great job. For those of you that have not received the full $500 (as long as you've participated fully) - I'll have the remainder of your stipend soon.
We need you to complete 2 surveys as soon as possible. They are quick and can be done on Survey Monkey. Here are the links:
You can also find them on our website: www.girlshealthgirlshands.com
So what's next? The official project is just about complete. We may be asking some of you to do some more presentations. And my official role as project manager is about over. That doesn't mean that we can't continue working on ways to implement the things you want to do in your community. Both the Women's Fund (Tobi Marcus and a tremendous network) and I can support you but you need to lead if you want something specific in your community.
A committee is working on using all of the data you compiled to put together some of the strategies and supporting the policy changes. The presentation to the Monterey County Board of Supervisors raised lots of attention and the Board directed staff to focus efforts on supporting Girls Health. Also - they discussed talking with the school districts to help support the changes you recommended.
I miss you all and hope to stay in contact.
