the Talk: Achieving the Promise of Authentic Partnerships Partnerships between communities and higher educational institutions as a strategy for change are gaining recognition and momentum. Service-learning, community-based participatory research and broad-based coalitions are among the methods these partnerships pursue to accomplish their goals. In the last decade alone, funding agencies have invested over a billion dollars in such partnerships, including more than a dozen multi-site initiatives that employ community-campus partnerships as a change strategy. Increasingly, partnerships are being recommended by national bodies and pursued by funding agencies for achieving a wide range of significant outcomes, including:
With the remarkable expansion of interest and investment in community-campus partnerships, we believe the time is right to take a critical look at these partnerships in all of their iterations and ask (and answer) key questions about where we are now, where we are going and where we need to be.

5th
National Conference Since our first national meeting in 1998, the conference series has emphasized a public-private blend of service delivery, policy-making, community advocacy, civil rights enforcement, research and leadership development to improve the health of diverse populations. Cross-cutting themes in conference sessions stress practical innovations, while presentations on cutting-edge research show progress over time and point the way to challenges yet to be solved. The 2006 conference recognizes this interest in the intersection of quality, cultural competence, and disparities reduction. It also offers the opportunity to build on the work from previous conferences and to address questions and concerns arising from health care professionals, policymakers, and consumer representatives. The proposed agenda and objectives for the Fifth National Conference will maintain the conference tradition but will extend its reach to include health professionals working in quality improvement and disparities reduction. We will also continue to feature opportunities to learn about “best practices” and leading initiatives designed to improve culturally competent health care. CALL
