Using Institute staff, former health directors, and experienced board of health members as faculty, training sessions will include understanding the work of a board of health, legal responsibilities and authority, and board member expectations and guidelines.

 

A significant portion of the training will include a general understanding of public health--its history, its overall role, and the ten essential services of public health.

 

Half-day sessions will be delivered in face-to-face, online, or webinar formats, depending on the assessed learning needs of board members.
