Call for Applications: Culture of Health Leaders

"CommonHealth ACTION announced that the call for applications are now open for Culture of Health Leaders. This is a new leadership development and funding opportunity for leaders from various sectors that influence health—including education, transportation, technology, public health, government, faith/spiritual, business, health care, social service, economic development, urban planning, and others. The goal of this program is to engage a diverse array of professionals to take their leadership and influence to the next level; collaborate in new ways to create a healthier, more equitable future for all people; and to develop advanced leadership skills to build a Culture of Health that will enable everyone to live longer, healthier lives now and for generations to come.

For more information on the program, who is eligible, and how to apply, please see the fact sheet or visit www.cultureofhealth-leaders.org. We will host an introductory webinar on March 24 from 2-3 pm EST; email changeleaders@rwjf.org to sign up. I hope you will share this with others in your network who may be interested in this opportunity.

Culture of Health Leaders is a national, three-year program co-led by the National Collaborative for Health Equity and CommonHealth ACTION. It is one of four national change leadership programs, designed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to extend the influence and impact of leaders working to build a Culture of Health. Please visit www.rwjf.org/changeleaders for an overview of all the programs.

Applications are open now through April 19 for programs beginning this fall. Each year the program will select up to 50 participants from a wide range of health and non-health fields to drive important change in every sector. Participants receive an annual stipend of $20,000 per person and financial support for the team to complete a bold project." [Source: CommonHealth ACTION]
