Mary M. Lee, Esq.
Deputy Director, PolicyLink
At the Heart of Community Health: The Importance
of Community Leadership & Engagement
People are the biggest asset that any community can
have. The challenging conditions that affect health –
particularly for low-income people and communities
of color - must be resolved by utilizing approaches
that connect the experiences of people on the ground
with the decisions about policies that impact their
lives. In this presentation, Mary Lee will share
highlights from her work as an attorney and civil rights
advocate for nearly 30 years. She will challenge us to
collaborate with and support community leaders to
create healthy, vibrant and equitable neighborhoods:
the kind of place where we all want to live.

Story has been part of community health for as long as
there have been people on earth. It is how we maintain
our sense of connection and how traditional medicinal
use was passed from one generation to the next. Now as
these traditional ways of keeping communities healthy

education, pay for performance, and team based care,
the story of Community Health Workers are becoming
vitally important to all of us and our health care system.

5F Pot- 52% Say Legalize It, Now What?
Marijuana abuse by young people has been the elephant
in the room for years. We’ve been focused, for good
reason, on tobacco, underage drinking, and prescription
drug abuse. However, while we’ve experienced some
successes on these fronts, marijuana use by our high
school students has doubled. Now with the legalization
debate heating up, the elephant commands attention.

fueled the legalization debate, look at how prevention
advocates in other states have responded, and begin a
discussion of what Wisconsin’s response should be.
