Champions of Change The best ideas come from the American people. Everyone has a story to tell, everyone has a part to play. President Obama has challenged us all to help win the future by out-educating, out-innovating, and out-building our competitors in the 21st century. Today, we’re asking you to help
us identify these standout local leaders by nominating a Champion of Change for Public Health and Prevention by midnight on Friday, August 9th. This is part of the President’s efforts to promote the public’s health and prioritize prevention in America’s towns and cities, in schools and parks, in churches and community centers.
