Expert state and local leadership are essential to advancing population health and nonpartisan evidence-based health policy in the United States. Each year, the Milbank Memorial Fund invests in the development of state and county leaders who are committed to advancing population health and health equity through its Milbank Fellows Program (MFP) and Emerging Leaders Program (ELP).
“These leadership classes represent the best of health policy and population health leadership from across the country.” said Morgan McDonald, National Director of Population Health and Health Equity Leadership at the Fund. “They bring exceptional expertise from the executive and legislative branches of state government and across the political spectrum.”
MFP is a 10-month leadership program, now in its fourth year, for senior executive branch and legislative state leaders who are committed to improving the health of their communities. Convened by the Milbank Memorial Fund, MFP aims to equip participants with new knowledge and evidence-based approaches to specific population health issues, expand their personal insight and leadership capacities, and create meaningful connections with a network of colleagues from across the country.
This upcoming session reflects the eighth cohort of the Milbank Memorial Fund’s ELP. This 10-month program engages early and mid-career legislative and executive branch state and large-county government officials who are committed to bringing a health equity lens to their work to improve population health. Like MFP, ELP focuses on development of personal insights, hands-on leadership skills, sharing of best practices from public health and leadership experts, and the opportunity to connect with colleagues across states. ELP is facilitated in partnership with nationally recognized academic and leadership consultant Rich Callahan.
Congratulations to the members of this year’s cohorts for both MFP and ELP, who are listed below.
