Web Master Moving on...
Regretfully, Traci Williams,
currently the Web Master for OCBPH and the CHSP will be leaving this week to
continue her education at Eastern Michigan University and work as a web designer
for Washtenaw Community College. Traci started with the Office of Community-Based
Public Health when she was a senior in high school and was part of the initial
National Program Office for the Community Health Scholars Program. She made
many contributions during that setup period. Many of you met her in Baltimore
at the second annual CHSP Networking meeting. We will miss her contributions.

of Michigan. Be sure to say hello at the Annual Mini-networking meeting in December,
if not before.
Program Assistant Return to School
We said goodbye last week to Jessica Inwood, the National Program Office
Assistant since last May. Many of you met her at the recent CHSP Networking
