Update from the Chair: President Mark Gearan
2012 MacJannet Prize Featured Interview Jan Reid: Vice-Chair of the Talloires Steering Committee  February marks the start of our monthly Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement series. We begin with the Talloires Network Steering Committee Vice-Chair and leader of the University of Western Sydney (UWS), Janice Reid. According to Vice-Chancellor Reid, the location of UWS is a driving force behind her commitment to making civic engagement an institutional priority. As one of the largest of Australia’s 39 universities, each of UWS's six campuses aims to fulfil the University’s motto, “Bringing Knowledge to Life”. Reid believes that with its 40,000 students UWS can make a difference by reinforcing and contributing to a vital and productive future for its urban region of 10,000 square kilometres.

CCPH is convening its 15th Anniversary Conference to nurture a growing network of community-campus partnerships that are striving to solve our most pressing health, social and economic challenges. Held at a pivotal time in the history of CCPH and the community-campus partnerships "movement," the conference will convene hundreds of community members, faculty, staff, students, funders and policy makers from around the world for 4 days of skill-building, networking and agenda-setting. 
The conference will set its focus on different themes to get more insight in processes, and develop specific policy recommendations that resonate with public concerns and articulated research needs and built on the experience and know-how of the previous Living Knowledge conferences. It will be an opportunity to bring together key thinkers and practitioners in the area of community based research, university/community partnerships and Science Shops and aims at providing options and opportunities for collaborations and ensuring that this area of work is prioritised on policy agendas both nationally and internationally.
