  • 2014 Seattle National Student Electronic Media Convention
    National Student Electronic Media Convention Seattle, WA #CBISeattle October 23-25, 2014 OCTOBER 2014 Welcome to Seattle! On behalf of the College Broadcasters, Inc. (CBI) Board of Directors, I’d like to welcome you to Seattle for the National Student Electronic Media Convention (NSEMC), or CBI Seattle for short. CBI Seattle is America’s top convention dedicated exclusively to the interests of student radio stations, TV/video outlets, and webcasters. Whichever category—or categories—you fall into, we are confident that you will leave the convention with the skills and motivation to improve your student media outlet. In its third year, the NSEMC continues to grow. Among the improvements this year are an additional breakout room, giving you the choice of six sessions during most time slots; a pre-convention workshop—FCC 101, an intensive, three-hour pre-convention workshop hosted by a veteran adviser and a nationally-known attorney. That’s in addition to what’s made us so successful since our inception—high-quality sessions led by advisers and media professionals, student-led roundtables, and networking and social opportunities. I am pleased to announce that this year’s keynote address will be given by Seattle broadcast legend John Curley. During his 30-year radio and TV career, John has earned numerous accolades, including multiple local Emmy Awards and the Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Journalism. John previously hosted KING 5 TV’s “Evening Magazine”—America’s highest-rated regionally produced TV show for fourteen years—and currently hosts “The Curley and Tom Morning Show” on KIRO 97.3 FM.

Pointing the way to our county’s health journey toward better health, this document is a look at current health trends and a roadmap for community engagement and partnerships which can steer the course to effective health improvement. In public health, the community is our patient. Collective health is influenced by the factors that drive individual health, such as socioeconomic realities, education, health behaviors, the environment, genetics, transportation, and healthcare. In order to sustain and improve public health, the focus must be on strengthening components that create and sustain healthy communities. Why is health important? Because being well or working toward wellness helps us maximize our potential as individuals and as a city. Wellness is intimately related to how we live, work, and feel about ourselves.
