APPEAL is excited to announce we are accepting applications for our National Leadership Program scheduled to take place in Washington, DC, from June 4 to 7. APPEAL has over 25 years of experience providing leadership training, successfully training over 1,000 commercial tobacco control advocates.
This four-day program comprises three-day leadership training, policy visits, and a one-day cancer summit. The program is designed to build a vibrant movement in commercial tobacco control, cancer control, and health equity in the Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (NH/PI), and Asian American (AA) communities. The program allows individuals in various career stages to network through activities and panel presentations. Additionally, participants will have the chance to meet with policymakers and develop the knowledge, skills, and capacity required to advocate and implement policy change.
The program provides networking opportunities and cross-generational collaboration for all participants. This event will offer a unique platform to connect with experienced professionals and learn about the latest developments in the field.
Deadline: Wednesday, May 1, 2024
