Advocates
Our Health & Wellness Advocates are vital to our mission. You do not have to be an accomplished athlete or wellness guru to be a Health & Wellness Advocate! We are looking for everyday people who have a sincere interest in sharing the Health & Wellness message.

Time Commitment
Health & Wellness Advocates are asked to volunteer for at least one year, and to distribute information once or twice a month, as you receive it from us. We also hold two Advocate meetings per year, which are announced via e-mail. If there is no attendance or RSVP from you for three consecutive meetings, we will assume that you are no longer an Advocate. To be taken off the Advocate list, simply notify the Health & Wellness office by phone at 257-9355 or e-mail.
Advocates can generate enthusiasm and participation in Health & Wellness by:
- Creating or assisting with a marketing display such as a Health & Wellness bulletin board in your office suite.
- Distributing promotional flyers/brochures.
- Making “What's going on in Health & Wellness?” announcements in staff meetings.
- Using departmental distribution lists to send e-mails about new or upcoming programs.
- Ensuring that Health & Wellness News inserts are available to department employees.
- Informally encouraging co-workers to get involved in Health & Wellness.
- Passing along any departmental requests for programming to the Health & Wellness staff.
