2019-2020 SPARC Leadership Program

The 2019-2020 SPARC Leadership Program is underway! This year-long program is focused on building a vibrant movement in tobacco control and health advocacy in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities.

The program commenced with our 3-day Core Leadership summit on June 20-22, 2019. 27 fellows from across California came together to hold critical discussions about health-related tobacco issues facing AANHPIs and participate in leadership building activities. The fellows will continue to work together on policy and advocacy issues in regional teams throughout the year.
