As the face of disasters and public health emergencies continues to change, the knowledge and skills health agency leaders need to support, equip, and advocate for state and territorial public health professionals will constantly change, as well.

One of the strengths of ASTHO’s membership is the collective of best practices and tested ideas from across the U.S. states and territories.
