Public Health Leadership Opportunity:
National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (NLAPH)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS) is pleased to announce a new public health leadership opportunity available through a cooperative agreement with the Public Health Institute (PHI).

The National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (NLAPH) is an applied approach to leadership training. This approach brings together leaders from public health, healthcare, and community organizations to work towards improving a specific, measurable public health problem within their communities while also receiving leadership training and technical assistance from national experts.
During year one (February 2012 – January 2013), there will be a maximum of 20 teams of 4 participants each.  Each team member will be from a different sector; however, one team member must be a public health department leader.  Through the year-long, cohort-based program, participants will focus on a spectrum of leadership skills, including personal development and collaborative, team-based, community leadership. In addition, they will learn skills related to working across sectors to lead policy and systems change and to ultimately implement tangible projects that advance their community health improvement work.
