Are you a parent or guardian, or an educator living in New Hampshire? This conference is for you!
Keynote Presentor and Moderator
Rona Zlokower, MCM, Director of Media Power Youth, will serve as both Moderator and our Keynote Presentor. Rona created Media Power Youth (formerly MediaSmart) in collaboration with Selma Deitch, MD, pioneering pediatrician and founder of Child Health Services and Rob Nordgren, MD, MPH, then Director of Child Health Services, as an education and training tool about media influences on health and behavior. She is past president of the New Hampshire Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect, past chair of the Corporate Fund of NH, and member of the Board of the NH Women's Fund. We are very happy to have such a knowledgeable resource to speak in our community.
