Prevention Summit theme needed: what are your ideas?

Every October, the Washington State Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) and partners from around the state host a Prevention Summit in Yakima.  The 2011 Summit Planning Committee is seeking input for theme ideas and suggestions for speakers and presenters. 

Share your ideas and suggestions via SurveyMonkey by Tuesday, May 10 at noon.  The person who submits the winning theme will win a free registration to the 2011 Summit. 

Now for the small print . . . a theme must be a new idea and cannot be in use for other purposes such as national campaigns, local projects, or previous Summits.  The Planning Committee reserves the right to modify suggestions as needed.  Exact phrases may or may not be used in the final theme.  Theme ideas will be reviewed and selected at the discretion of the Planning Committee.
