Leadership Academy
As part of NAPHSIS’s broader commitment to strengthening the workforce across vital records and health statistics jurisdictions, we are proud to offer a Leadership Academy aimed at developing current and emerging leaders in the field. This program will build on NAPHSIS’s existing professional development opportunities by expanding pathways for members to grow their leadership skills while advancing workforce capacity across jurisdictions.
The 7-month Leadership Academy is designed to strengthen leadership capacity, support operational excellence, and build strategic capability across the vital records community. Through this program, NAPHSIS is working to equip member jurisdictions with the leadership talent needed to sustain and advance critical programs while supporting ongoing professional development.
To ensure the Academy effectively supports leadership succession and organizational impact, applicants should be in, or on a clear path toward, roles with significant leadership responsibility. This opportunity is intended for professionals who can influence programs, policy, and decision-making; it is not intended for general support staff.
The structured curriculum will include monthly virtual sessions beginning in October 2026 and will conclude with an in-person session at the 2027 NAPHSIS Annual Meeting.
Key curriculum topics may include, but are not limited to:
By participating in the Leadership Academy, members will strengthen their leadership and professional skill sets while contributing to a more resilient, prepared, and innovative workforce across jurisdictions.
If you are interested in participating and can commit to the program requirements, please apply. Supervisory approval is required to ensure alignment with your role and availability.
Space is very limited. Applications will close on July 31, 2026.
