Center for Health Leadership and Impact
Effective, principled leadership is more important than ever. Your community needs leaders who can assess complex, intersecting issues, such as COVID-19 and violence. They deserve leaders who can work as a team and move from strategy to implementation, in partnership with the community, and center health equity and racial justice.
Applications are now open for PHI’s Center for Health Leadership & Practice’s National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (NLAPH). Multi-sector teams are now invited to apply to NLAPH and transform their collective impact. Get the training and tools to respond more effectively to today’s needs and meet tomorrow’s challenges.
Participation in NLAPH is free, including team coaching, retreat, access to all program materials and webinars, and enrollment in the Leadership Learning Network (LLN) after completion of the program.
Applications are due Friday, October 1, 2021, by 5pm PT.

We[had] all been doing duplicative and non-cost effective work. People were going to each other’s meetings, but then going back inside their own walls and doing their own thing. But [now] we’re changing that...we believe that we will make an impact...by aligning resources in a way that has never been done before.NLAPH Cohort 3 (2014) Fellow
