Step 3: Plan Your Event
Utilize the resources found in the toolkits below to secure sponsorships, recruit volunteers, identify speakers, and create invitations and signage. If you have trouble accessing or using the items in the toolkit, contact Tanya Parrish at the email listed in Step 1.
Step 4: Host Your INFluence Event
Be sure to keep track of the attendees using a sign-in sheet (a sample is provided in the toolkit) and determine if they would like to receive the INFluence electronic newsletters.
Step 5: Submit Your Event Evaluation Form
Within two weeks of your event, please complete and return the Event Evaluation Report to Tanya Parrish. It is important that the Office of Women's Health receives the information in the report so that we can gather data on the INFluence initiative, evaluate our efforts, identify local partners, and continue funding INFluence activities at the state and local levels. After receiving your Evaluation Report, the Office of Women's Health will send you a certificate of appreciation for hosting an INFlunce event. Approved applicants for the INFluence mini-grant will not receive their award until the evaluation report has been received. Please see the INFluence Mini-Grant Instructions for additional information.
