Thanks for Visiting Auburn Gresham

Community-Campus Partners For Health (CCPH)!

Thank you for visiting the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, as part of the April 30 - May 3, 2014 Community-Partners For Health Conference! We were really honored you selected us to be part of this iconic national health leadership event. We were extremely glad to have visitors from all over the United States and Canda.

Tenisha, unfortunately, I didn't attend the tour but GADC's cohesiveness in supporting the efforts of the tour and the remarks that walked into the office at the end of the tour were so very heartwarming. GADC is making a huge difference in the lives of our children, our schools, and our community!

I am proud to be a part of this family. You and the Education Team are AWESOME!

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Greater-Auburn Gresham Development Corporation, I wanted to thank all of you for your support with ensuring we hosted a successful tour.

I am honored to partner and work beside such an awesome group of professionals that are dedicated to social justice in the schools, classrooms, and the community at large. The tour was a huge success!

Our guests communicated how much they learned and even expressed how they would like to keep in touch with us to learn more. It was nice to showcase our successes and expose others to the work we are doing in Auburn Gresham.

P.S. we will share photos, data and comments from the evaluation tool our guest completed.

Best regards,

Tenisha Jones
Education Director
