Are you concerned about the alarming prevalence of childhood obesity? Join this group to discuss ways Minnesotans can instill lifelong healthy habits in kids.

This group is moderated by Joel Spoonheim, a leader in community change who has worked for city governments, a food manufacturer, and non-profits as a leader of major initiatives that require engaging diverse stakeholders and complex problem solving.  In 2009, he led the AARP Blue Zones Vitality Project in Albert Lea, Minnesota which engaged thousands of citizens in improving the health of the community.
