Advocating for Community: Leading Local and State Transformation

Community-based organizations (CBOs) play a vital role in designing and innovating solutions to address their communities’ health. Working alongside their clients, neighbors, and local leaders, CBOs are often the source of the most creative, and ultimately, the most sustainable solutions to address service gaps, health inequities, and emergent challenges.

In an era of growing needs and shrinking resources, how can we ensure these organizations are well-resourced and supported in their efforts to catalyze growth and opportunity in communities near and far?

Join us at our panel, Advocating for Community, which will elevate this critical role, drawing on experiences in communities across the country to show how CBOs are indeed on the frontline of policy design and implementation, and asserting themselves as advocates and leaders at both the local, state, and national level.
