Since 2002, over 120 public health professionals from Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington have developed their leadership skills by attending our Northwest Public Health Leadership Institute.

Plans for the 2008 Leadership Institute are currently underway. The Institute will be challenging and meaningful to the organizations represented, and will have the potential to markedly improve public health leadership in the region, contribute model programs, best practices, while developing new leadership skills. The approach will:

1. Offer Institute participants significant opportunities to develop mid- to high-level leadership competencies.
2. Define outcomes that will objectively evaluate the accomplishment.
3. Define leadership competency outcomes that will objectively evaluate individual progress in developing leadership skills.

Here is what one past participant had to say about their experience:

"The combination of retreats, readings, collaboration with our groups, and the application and analysis of skills to specific projects provided excellent opportunities to strengthen my skills."
