CSTE LEAD 2022

Connecting with each other in 2023?

Hey everyone!
It's been awhile, but it was great to see everyone's faces and reconnect with you all today. Since our cohort is wrapping up, I wanted to see if there was any interest in the group to continue connecting with each other in 2023. I would love to set up a quarterly networking meeting (or other cadence) for our cohort. Comment below if you would be interested!

Sarah Auer, Program Analyst at CSTE Sarah  -- could you email the whole group so that our emails are visible and we can opt in by replying to that thread? (Or some other strategy that shares emails?)
Nicole Stone, Senor Enteric Epidemiologist
I'm interested! nstone2@isdh.in.gov :)
Kathryn Lowerre, Section Head, Overdose Prevention
Absolutely, would love to be able to continue discussions, etc. with you all going forward. New email (though old one should still work, too): kathryn.lowerre@doh.nm.gov 
Thanks for suggesting it, Laura!
Amelia Salmanson, Viral Hepatitis Coordinator
I am happy to set up a Doodle poll and send to everyone to schedule a meeting in March or April. 
Laura Fox, Environmental Public Health Tracking Epidemiologist
Lots of interest to keep our group and discussions going! I copied our contact information from the project description document and updated emails in this Excel sheet (attached). 

Amelia Salmanson, Viral Hepatitis Coordinator Amelia --- I like the Doodle poll idea! Do you want to post the link here or start an email thread?
Bernice Carr, Epidemiologist, MPH, MS, NJDOH
Same here. Bernice.Carr@doh.nj.gov.
We also have the WhatsApp group chat.
Katrina Hansen
Yes, I would love to stay in touch! Katrina.e.hansen@dhhs.nh.gov . I don't think I am on the WhatsApp group chat. Bernice- was this established right before CSTE? 

Also, are any of you planning or hoping to go to CSTE in June as well? 
Kelly Walblay, Senior Epidemiologist - Healthcare Program
My fingers are crossed for CSTE in June! Definitely hoping to go but TBD
Bernice Carr, Epidemiologist, MPH, MS, NJDOH
Yes Katrina,

The WhatsApp group was set up a few days before the CSTE Conference.
Bernice Carr, Epidemiologist, MPH, MS, NJDOH
I am hoping to attend the conference in June. Hopefully, with a poster. Fingers crossed, as well. 
Lisa McHugh, Assistant Bureau Director, Bureau of Epidemiology
I am also very interested!
Amelia Salmanson, Viral Hepatitis Coordinator
Laura Fox, Environmental Public Health Tracking Epidemiologist Laura  thanks for getting that list together! I will create a poll and post on this thread as well as email out :)
Laura Fox, Environmental Public Health Tracking Epidemiologist Great!
Laura Newman, Senior Epidemiologist
Love the effort to stay connected and appreciate this group! 
Amelia Salmanson, Viral Hepatitis Coordinator
OK! I created a Doodle Poll for March and hope we can find a good time for everyone. Would completing this by EOD 12/2 be reasonable? I will also send this out via email so I apologize for cross posting. 
Chloe Manchester, Epidemiologist
I don't feel like I have the kind of life where I can fill out a Doodle Poll for 4 months away...that said.... please count me in on whatever time/ day you land on and I hope I can make it :) 
Bernice Carr, Epidemiologist, MPH, MS, NJDOH 😀
