| Welcome to our 31st Annual Conference |
 The Global Health Council is pleased to welcome health-care providers, community organizers, program managers, policy-makers, researchers, advocates and especially young people from around the world to participate in our 31st Annual Conference.
Our 2004 conference focuses on youth and health – the opportunities presented and the challenges faced by the largest number of adolescents in the history of the world. Join us in exploring what influences shape the lives of this “generation on the edge” – mass media, a global culture that glorifies violence, gender inequities, and infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS. We will address these important issues forthrightly with balance and relevance, sharing our expertise to not only raise awareness of youth’s multifaceted needs but also to bring hope and a sense of commitment to finding solutions to those problems that cloud their future.
