APHSA Executive Governing Board 2018

From the Executive Governing Board Chair

OFFICERS CHAIR DAVID STILLMAN Assistant Secretary, Economic and Health Services VICE CHAIR AND LOCAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE KELLY HARDER Director, Dakota County (MN) Community Services Services Administration, WA Department of Social

Dear APHSA Members and Friends,

Serving as the Chair of APHSA’s Executive Governing Board, I am energized by the association’s latest action plan we finalized earlier this year—the APHSA Strategic Playbook for 2018-2022. The Playbook displays our commitment to advancing the potential of all people in all places, and I have seen our members and partners working together to act on that commitment throughout the year. As we continue to work with leaders across the country, there is increasing energy aimed at advancing economic and social mobility with and through the communities in which we all live, work, learn and play. It is truly humbling to work alongside each-and-every one of you as we continue to build well-being from the ground up! Throughout the annual report, you have front row access to the stories and learnings from our members and partners that reflect our shared mission to advance population health and the well-being of all people through gainful employment, education and so much more. Although our annual report provides us with the opportunity to reflect and record our progress once a year, it is evident all year long that it is only with and through you—our members—that we can make our future desired state a reality. As we continue to engage in policy work to help move us toward a modern, outcome-based, human-centered system designed to strengthen communities and increase overall health and well-being for everyone, we thank you for being an integral part of the journey. Here’s to another year of partnership, innovation and generative solutions for the future!
