| Champs! - A Group of Wellness Champions from Oregon Schools |
|
OEBB hosts a monthly conversation where anyone interested in promoting school employee wellness can share ideas, resources and success stories, ask questions and collaborate on creative solutions to challenges. The group currently meets via conference call (or in person for those near the Salem area) on the first Tuesday of each month from 3:30 - 4:30 pm. The group also has a listserv where questions and comments can be shared between calls.
There's no obligation to attend the meetings and there are no "assignments" in between. It's just a way for similar health-minded people to exchange ideas and support each other. If you would like to be included in this group, please e-mail your contact information to oebb.board@state.or.us. We will add you to the listserv and you will receive an e-mail with the call-in information for future meetings. We hope you'll join us!
