Workgroups are Open to Everyone!

We invite all interested members of the public and community partners to participate in these workgroups. 

Share your passion for community health and health equity, and work alongside other community members who share your commitment. 

Remember, workgroups operate on three-year cycles. If you want to join mid-cycle, we will share logic models, action plans, and planned initiatives so that everyone can participate in ongoing meetings and events.
