Many of you will recall that we have had some great collaborative booths for the Chiropractic Health Care Section. Our Mega Health Booth included collaboration with the Podiatry, Vision Care and Oral Health Sections of APHA. Collaborating has increased the numbers of visitors to our booth over the past few years, and has earned us some infamy and awards over the past few years as well.
Well, this year, all of the collaborating sections said, “Let’s do it again!” So, the four sections will all be located next to each other and this year we would like to showcase ways in which the chiropractic profession can play a role in helping the nation meet the Healthy People 2010 goals.
It is also our 10th anniversary as a section, so the theme for us will be “10”. We need to put our heads together, and come up with some potentially award winning ideas for our booth, around the theme of “10”.
A perfect “10”?
Top 10 reasons to see a chiropractor?
Top 10 ways chiropractic supports the Healthy People 2010 objectives?
You get the idea! So, send us your thoughts, your top 10 lists, your hopes for the booth, your dreams, etc. Let’s do it up right for this year’s 10th anniversary.
Our booth requires a great deal of effort from our Section members, so we are asking that you all step up and pitch in! A few things we will need are listed below:
1. People to staff the booth, handing out literature and screening tools to passers by. To volunteer please contact: Lori Byrd at <Lori.Byrd@Palmer.edu>. We will surely need people on the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of the conference (the busiest days for the exhibit hall).
2. Ideas for give-aways for the booth. The ever-popular spine keychains? If anyone has connections and could score some gift certificates, etc for a business that is common across the nation, that would be great! Also, if you know anyone or any businesses in New Orleans that may want to donate items such as fruit or other snacks or give-aways, please contact Lori Byrd and let her know so we can line them up.
3. People to help pack up the booth on the Wednesday of the conference, around noon.
4. Someone to contact ICA or ACA to get cool pens or other giveaways. Let us know if you make any calls, so we don’t repeat our efforts.
It’s going to be another great year at APHA. Let’s try for a prize winning booth again! Think 10.
