| Many public health associations contemplate making a commitment to hiring staff or to expanding current staffing to full time executive directors or other arrangements. This session will combine presentations, an inter-active exercise and conversation to help public health associations make decisions about whether and how to make a move toward optimal staffing. Three state affiliates which have taken distinct paths will discuss their experiences in acquiring staff, including start-up, benefits and barriers, and “if we were to do it again” reflections. The session will also include assessments and exercises that association boards can use to appraise their priorities and resources as they weigh staffing options. Finally participants and panelists will engage in dialogue about issues that affiliate leaders may deliberate relating to the challenges of hiring staff. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Participants will have new information and tools through which to be better prepared to support their state associations in making decisions about attaining realistic and desired levels of staffing. | |||
