One of our key program areas is the RAISE Network Project, though which APPEAL, the lead organization, and its coalition partners work to prevent and reduce tobacco use and other cancer-related health disparities in AANHPI communities. Join a dedicated group of community advocates, medical, health, and education professionals, elected officials, and highly-engaged grassroots individuals as they focus on Advancing Equity on Tobacco, Obesity, and Cancer Control in the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and other underserved communities. A 2.5-day conference intended to: 1) provide an innovative learning environment and policy/leadership-skills development for attendees; 2) discuss and develop policy priorities for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders (AAs and NHPIs), and other communities of color on tobacco and cancer control, and healthy eating and active living (HEAL) issues; and 3) collaboratively advance implementation of these policy strategies to achieve health equity on the local and federal levels. Registration for the 2.5-day conference is $400 and includes admission to APPEAL’s 20th Anniversary gala and fundraiser dinner on Thursday evening. Registration for the conference only is $300.
