Accelerating Policy Change: Convenings for Community Health
October—November, 2025
Hosted by ChangeLab Solutions
We invite you to join ChangeLab Solutions and our local partners for Accelerating Policy Change! These in-person convenings bring together changemakers who want to deepen their skill set for advancing local policy change. Convenings are scheduled through 2025 in multiple locations around the US, and more will be announced for 2026. 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.
Join us for a 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.
Don’t miss this strategic opportunity to deepen your legal and policy skills and network with peers to support thriving communities across the US. We hope to see you there!
