CORO Fellows Join Coalition Team

Last week the Coalition welcomed four fellows from the CORO leadership training program in public affairs — Matt Budow (Potomac, MD), Yanelly Molina (New York, NY), Bryan Klopack (Country Club Hill, IL), and Mariola Janik (Burbank, IL).  They are spending six weeks developing ideas for improving access and utilization of diabetes education services in the region.  Their project involves interviews with many stakeholder groups and experts to create alternative business models for the Coalition.  We are thrilled to have their energy and fresh perspective dedicated towards diabetes management issues.  For more information about CORO, please visit www.coro.org. (Note: our CORO fellows are recent college graduates from Northwestern, Drake and Tufts… if there are alumni out there from any one of these places or just friendly people who would like to meet them, contact Matt at budow.corostl@gmail.com.)
