NEVER STANDING ALONE
Work through what’s changing with people who understand it
Member Strategy Forums are facilitated conversations where AHEA members can examine current challenges, compare approaches, and think more clearly about what to do next.
Each forum centers on a focused question, changing condition, or practical challenge affecting people across public health and health equity.
These are not formal trainings or open-ended networking sessions. They are structured opportunities to bring experience into conversation, learn from different perspectives, and leave with useful ideas for navigating the work.
“In an era where our economic system throws us from crisis to crisis - destroying individual and public health in the process - it is more important than ever to have organizations willing to engage in open, unapologetic discussions grounded in reality and focused on addressing the systemic drivers of illness, suffering, and death. AHEA strives to be such an organization.”
— Dr. Michael Pappas
