MEMBER CONVERSATION

Think through the work 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.

What to expect

A focused topic


Each forum is organized around a timely question or challenge rather than a broad discussion agenda.

Facilitated conversation


AHEA provides structure and guiding questions while creating space for members to contribute their own experience and perspective.

Practical value


Participants may leave with new language, approaches, connections, or questions that help them move their work forward.

Topics shaped by the moment

  • Responding to cuts in public health programs and funding

  • Sustaining research amid reduced grants and institutional support

  • Navigating layoffs, hiring freezes, and organizational restructuring

Forum topics may address:

  • Communicating across changing audiences and environments

  • Protecting programs, partnerships, and community trust

  • Repositioning professional experience for evolving roles

Topics will evolve as conditions and member priorities change.
