California WIC Association 2010 Management Conference September 20, 2010 • Town & Country Resort, San Diego Roadmap: From Gold to Platinum At our Spring Conference we celebrated the successful launch of the healthy new WIC foods, and kicked off WIC GOES PLATINUM, a multi-year effort to bring California WIC up to a whole new level of excellence. Our goal is to integrate our Gold Standard foods, our growing staff wellness culture, and our participant-centered nutrition education and breastfeeding support into the overall WIC clinic experience. Join your WIC management colleagues for a “chock-full” session that will lay some important groundwork for our Platinum plans. We will hold a one-day conference entitled ROADMAP: From Gold to Platinum, the day before the National WIC Association’s Nutrition and Breastfeeding Conference begins, at the same location. Our new WIC Division Chief Michele van Eyken will provide updates and share her vision. We will provide direct input to contractors who are planning the ISIS replacement, and announce the contest winner for naming the new system! We’ll explore strategies for engaging all staff to work towards a proposed set of Platinum Principles that will get us where we want to go. Experts from CDPH MCAH Division will show us how to use technology and mapping to identify unmet WIC needs, and we will get an update on efforts to strengthen links to medical providers. We have invited Dr. Harold Goldstein, Director of the California Center for Public Health Advocacy, to tell us more about how WIC can play a pivotal role in fighting obesity by promoting healthy beverage consumption.
