Two CETE staff members, Dr. David Julian and Dr. Meredith Wellman, will visit Albuquerque, NM, in March to attend a grantee meeting linked to two current CETE evaluation projects (the Hoh Tribe and Makah Tribe Circles of Care evaluations). They will hear from many tribal entities, technical assistance providers, and federal grant leaders regarding best practices in the development of local, culturally oriented health service plans. In addition, they will engage in small-group planning discussions with each client to support their efforts in developing local health services. This work reflects several CETE competencies, including collaborative community problem solving and evaluation skills.
