    Hello everyone,

    I am Harumi Reilly, lead analyst on the MCAH team at NACCHO. I am SO excited that we now have a virtual community to continue conversations about infant and toddler feeding, and everything else that goes with early childhood nutrition! 
    We had our first regional convening in Denver on August, which was beyond amazing!! So much energy, sharing and learning from each other. Our team is getting ready to convene in Boston in September, and then Raleigh in October.  
    There is SO much momentum happening on nutrition security for all age groups focused on historically neglected communities in the United States. We are hoping to inform national conversations by amplifying your work, your collective wisdom shared with us, and anything else we can help amplify. 

    I've added some pictures of the first convening (please let me know if you see yourself in one but are not comfortable in sharing, I will respectfully delete it). I also added some resources that were available in the convening, and also the newly published report on Recommendations for the White House Hunger and Nutrition conference, on September 28th.  By the way, let us know if you plan to come to Washington DC then, or at any other time. We would love to connect with you again- or for others who may join this community- connect with you for the first time!

    Please reintroduce yourself, upload your resources and any other materials you referenced to during our convening. This is the space to showcase your work, and also for peer-to-peer learning, so if you come across anything interesting, please share. I will also be uploading funding opportunities that could be of your interest.

    Warmly,
    Harumi

    Hi Harumi and All,
    It was great to meet everyone in Denver.  I was really happy to be able to participate in such a great meeting and to learn from each of you.  I'm looking forward to hearing about the outcomes from the Raleigh and Boston meetings and staying connected with everyone through this platform.

    Thank you, Nicole! 
    We just came back from Boston and it was just as great as it was in Denver! Lots of new wisdom, and reinforcing themes. We will soon share some of the notes from Boston and Denver. Most of Denver participants are now here. Feel free to connect, say Hi, and share relevant resources. Fran, from the Rudd Center, just shared some of the amazing toddler milk videos they have been doing- and I think it will be great for Nevada professionals and families. Check them out!

    Hi Harumi and fellow Denver attendees,

    It was great to meet all of you and to reconnect here. I look forward to hearing the results of the two other convenings and to learn more from everyone's collective work. 

    I will be at the AAP annual conference in Anaheim, CA early October as we are presenting on the results from our first 1000 days grant project. Will anyone else be attending?

    Hi Trina!

    Thanks for reintroducing yourself. 
    I've heard of some other folks attending the AAP, not sure if it was within the convening groups. I'll start another thread of "conferences". This would be a great way to connect with others.
    If you are presenting these findings again online and at no-cost, please do share the links (or slides/ reports, etc) here so we can learn more about the 1,000 days grant project.

    Warmly,
    Harumi
