International Dialogue: How to Put Research into Action in Communities

Three diverse and international presenters will speak to their experiences of putting research into action in their communities.

Dr. Joan Lombardi, former Deputy Assistant Secretary and Inter-Departmental Liaison for Early Childhood Development, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, will discuss how they have used data to inform a comprehensive policy initiative developing place based strategies to support children and families in the United States.

Anne Hanning, Indigenous Researcher and National Coordinator, Australian Early Development Index, and Bonnie Moss, Telethon Institute for Child Health & Menzies School of Health Research, will talk about how she has worked with Indigenous communities in Australia to create cultural relevance for the Early Development Instrument data.

Finally, Tracy Smyth Community Facilitator, Alberni Valley Make Children First Network, will discuss the importance of developing community partnerships as the foundation for using research effectively.

The panel will be introduced by Michael McKnight, President & Chief Executive Officer of the
United Way of the Lower Mainland. There will also be a question and answer period following the three presentations.
