The National Public Health Leadership Development
Network is a consortium of organizations and individuals from academic
institutions, national and international organizations, and local,
state, and federal agencies dedicated to advancing the practice of
public health leadership. The mission of the Network is to build
public health leadership capacity by sustaining a collaborative and
vibrant learning community of leadership programs in order to improve
health outcomes.
The Network continues to play a key role in facilitating inter-state, inter-regional,
and international collaboration efforts and in encouraging the recognition and
support of the leadership institutes to further enhance their efforts of increasing
access to systematic public health workforce education and training programs. The
Network continues to facilitate partnering among current and new funding agencies
in order to expand their range of support for Institutes and enable them to increase
integrated strategic development of, and expanded scope of service for, professional
development programs through academic and practice partnerships across the country.
The purpose of the Network is to:
- Collaborate with and promote linkages among organizations, agencies, associations, foundations, and other stakeholders to develop and/or expand public health leadership programs
- Increase and diversify participation in public health leadership programs
- Disseminate information regarding need and access to public health leadership development programs
- Provide technical assistance to emerging and existing public health leadership programs
- Contribute to the body of knowledge around public health leadership and leadership development and improve utilization of public health leadership resources, assets, and knowledge
- Expand advocacy and visibility of the Network and member institutes
