Grigsby, PhD, MSN(R), RN, APHN-BC, MPH<\/strong> <\/p>\n\t TPPP is a non-profit organization that unites communities across Missouri to promote adolescent sexual and reproductive health. We educate parents, professionals and the community at large; we collaborate with stakeholders, including school districts, legislators, faith leaders, youth-serving and health care professionals; we advocate for and protect teens rights to accurate, high quality sexual health information and reproductive and sexual health services; and we support teens self-determined ability to live healthy and fulfilling lives.<\/p>\n Over the past 20 years, TPPP has grown from a handful of service providers in St. Louis to a small and vibrant 501(c)(3) statewide organization providing training and technical assistance to youth service providers in health, education and social services. Highlights of our recent accomplishments include:<\/p>\n Board meetings are held in St. Louis on a bi-monthly basis on the fourth Friday from 9 to 10:30.\u00a0\u00a0We have phone conference capabilities for those who need to call in.<\/p>\n Per TPPP By-Laws, board members are invited to serve for 2 year terms with mutually agreed upon renewal. Board officers are limited to 3 consecutive 2 year terms, for a total of 6 years in the same position.<\/p>\n Teen pregnancy in Missouri remain higher than the national average and, along with sexually transmitted diseases, continue to impact youth and our community. At the same time\u00a0 fewer and more restricted resources are available for prevention programs and medically-accurate sexual health education. Active involvement on the TPPP board ensures that we are able to address these vital concern.\u00a0 TPPP strives for a statewide board that is truly diverse and represents different geographies, identities, professions, racial backgrounds, ethnicities and skills. Board members must support the\u00a0mission<\/a>,\u00a0vision<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0values<\/a>\u00a0of the organization.<\/p>\n
