The PHIG Evaluation Advisory Group (EAG) is comprised of individuals and organizations that will actively use the evaluation findings and is open to PHIG recipients, health department staff, CDC staff, national public health organizations, community partners, and affiliated members. The EAG provides opportunities for participants to share input on how the national evaluation is designed and implemented, ensuring their perspectives and needs are considered at every stage.

Are you looking for a space to connect with fellow public health practitioners around community engagement, systems-change work, and/or advancing optimal health for all? Then consider joining ASTHO’s virtual community Sustaining State and Community Engagement! In this virtual community participants can expect resources and connections centered around the following:

• Maintaining successfully established relationships between community and state agencies achieved through public health emergencies.
• Providing a space for sharing work and personal connections.
• Promoting work in the areas of systems change, community engagement, place-based initiatives, workforce development, data-driven mechanisms, and finance systems.

Once a member, participants can expect monthly “Community Corner” postings; along with highlighting a relevant case study and/or article, these posts will pose a discussion question to get participants thinking and talking. Participants are also strongly encouraged to start their own discussion posts or share any work they’d like with fellow community members.

We look forward to welcoming interested participants into the virtual community as a place for members to share, learn, and connect with one another. Thank you for all that you do in sustaining community engagement!
