Councilmember Laura Morrison invited Austin leaders who serve on Council Boards and Commissions and other stakeholders to participate in a forum yesterday to consider what the City of Austin can do to fight childhood obesity.
The forum was targeted toward the City's Boards and Commissions members because they are uniquely positioned to initiate actionable recommendations which can affect the health of the Austin community. Forum participants heard from experts in the areas of the urban form & the built environment, nutrition & food access, physical activity and health literacy & culture.
The goal was to challenge the participants to think creatively about solutions and to develop recommendations to improve the health of children in Austin.
