Overview

Growing Health Center Leaders is a dynamic online learning and networking program for new and aspiring leaders in community health centers. The virtual two-day event offers non-c-suite participants the chance to learn and practice leadership skills and understand strategies for career growth in the field. Learners can also apply their new skills beyond the initial event through a facilitated extended learning program to ensure long-term application and retention.

The Growing Health Center Leaders program recognizes that serving as a leader is more than holding a position or title, it’s the active cultivation of a person’s skills, resiliency, and mindset. As such, the program takes the learner on a journey of discovery, on how to lead oneself – and then translates that knowledge into practical application at work in health centers.

Join NACHC, our partners, current health center leaders, and your peers for a dynamic, participatory learning experience and develop your ability to lead in your organization! We welcome participants for whom this might be your first professional development activity in a while (or ever)!
