Accelerating Policy Change: Convenings for Community Health
Coming in 2026
Hosted by ChangeLab Solutions
We invite you to join ChangeLab Solutions and our local partners for Accelerating Policy Change, with new dates and locations to be announced in 2026! These in-person convenings were held in multiple locations around the US in 2025, bringing together changemakers who want to deepen their skill set for advancing local policy change. They are designed for public health practitioners, government staff, leaders from community-based organizations, and health care professionals who work on the root causes of health issues.
During a full day of active learning, we'll share resources, training, and real-world examples of policy successes to accelerate your work. Through interactive sessions, small-group activities, and inspiring panel discussions, you’ll gain more knowledge on how to read and understand policy and the law. You’ll hear from others about approaches to centering community members at each step in the process of law and policy change — from strategy selection to implementation. And you’ll develop your own action steps so you can immediately apply what you’ve learned.
Our Accelerating Policy Change convenings are a strategic opportunity to deepen your legal and policy skills and network with peers to support thriving communities across the US.
Stay tuned for a convening near you.
