SLRC for Health Agencies

Could you and your agency benefit from having experienced former state/territorial health agency leaders support you in addressing your toughest challenges? Request support through ASTHO’s Senior Leader Reserve Corps (SLRC).

In collaboration with CDC, the SLRC is a flexible and innovative program through which former health agency leaders use their specific expertise to provide technical assistance (TA) to current state/territorial health agency leaders.

If you have a specific challenge in your jurisdiction as an executive, ASTHO can match your agency with former public health leaders to provide on-demand targeted technical assistance and thought partnership at no cost to your health agency.

Example areas include:

• Support for senior leadership in identifying opportunities to modernize data architecture and communicating the needed changes to staff and stakeholders.
• Support in business process improvement for developing spenddown plans.
• Support for senior leadership in considering health equity and department structure.

Each project is custom built around the health agency’s needs. ASTHO works closely with the agency to develop a project proposal, and then match with an SLRC member with relevant expertise to support them in addressing the challenge. The role of the SLRC member can include strategic thought partner, tactical implementer, objective third party, outside voice, advisor, subject matter expert, and more.
