July 11, 2005 Dear Advisory Board Members, Welcome! This is an exciting time for Cherokee Nation in regards to implementing a program based on the prevention of diabetes. We appreciate your willingness to bring diabetes prevention to the forefront in accepting a role as a Diabetes Prevention Demonstration Project (DPDP) Advisory Board Member. As a brief background of the project, the DPDP will implement its program on October 1, 2005. The program consists of two main parts. One part consists of intensive activities, which involves screening, recruiting and conducting lifestyle classes. The other part consists of less intensive community activities, which will let our communities know that diabetes can be prevented. Our primary focus for the advisory board is to ensure ongoing input by providers and local stakeholders for reviewing and identifying desired adaptations of content, format, and delivery of the DPDP. In order to generate ideas and discussion, bi-monthly meetings will take place beginning July 22 nd from 2:00 – 4:00pm. The meetings will be held at the Cherokee Nation Complex in the Health Planning Room. Please find the enclosed meeting agenda and advisory board info sheet. As a first order of business, I would like to ask all advisory board members to begin thinking creatively for a new program name. Using DPDP may be a challenge as far as incentives, brochures, and creating program interest. Please come to the meeting with three program names that will encompass health, diabetes prevention, overcoming barriers, and meeting lifestyle goals. Again, thank you for accepting this role and with your continued support the program will be a success. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at 456-0671 X2776 or email me at t o n y a - g i ge r @ c he r ok e e.o r g . I look forward to meeting with you and can’t wait to get started! Sincerely yours, Tonya S. Giger DPDP Coordinator Cherokee Letter regarding advisory board meeting Cherokee Nation
