The Beauty of Networks

I have been thinking about networks lately. And seeing them everywhere!
Oftentimes in the global health arena or perhaps more broadly in the non-profit sector, there seems to be a lot of overlap in interests and resources. The corporate world is moving towards mergers and consolidations, even community health services are being pared down to increase efficiency. Of course examples from the corporate and public sector are bound to raise controversial issues, however it can be argued that these organizations are working toward greater effectiveness.

Naturally, we should all be focusing on mutual collaboration and partnership. That's where SUNSIH comes in! We are here to help you facilitate knowledge and information sharing with other organizations or to help you access the wealth of information available through on-line resources and through collaboration with associated networks.

Here are the top 5 ways (and in no particular order) that you can plug into the SUNSIH/REUSSI network:

5. If you're part of a group who is working on or advocating for global health issues then we want to hear from you! We partner with organization who share our values and vision- contact us to learn more- general@sunsih.ca.

4. Browse our "Links" webpage for great resources that suit your own interests.

3. Want to receive local event information and global health updates? Our listserv may be the thing for you! Or even better, if you have a global health/local health event you'd like to publicize we would be happy to post the details to our listserv. In either case send us an email with your request!

2. Have you got something to say? Well then step up on our soap box and lay it out for us on our blog. Or just scope out the latest posts.

1. Apply to be a campus rep or regional rep to connect global health group working throughout your region.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
