Funding
The National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (NLAPH) is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (CSTLTS).
This program was transformative for me and for our rural community. I credit it with opening doors to national funding opportunities such as the Robert Wood Johnson-funded “Raising Places” effort. It sparked an intellectual curiosity that has expanded my leadership capacity while also nurturing a deep-seated sense of joy and purpose. I can’t thank the Academy enough!NLAPH Cohort Fellow
