Leading Change October 2026

Join us for ASTHO’s Leading Change workshop, designed specifically for professionals in clinical and non-clinical public health roles. This two-day, in-person opportunity equips participants with strategies and skills to navigate change and uncertainty as individuals, team members, and organization-wide leaders.

Emphasizing actionable instruction and resources, it enables leaders to create and implement real-world initiatives at their agencies for 2026 and beyond. Participants will gain tools to design targeted initiatives and foster tangible organizational change. This experience prepares leaders to drive meaningful impact in their workplaces and communities.

Objectives:

• Analyze responses to organizational change, contrasting 'thriving' and 'surviving' during both planned and unplanned transitions.
• Define ways organizational culture impacts the change process.
• Assess the application of Kotter’s four change principles as strategic tools in the public health context.
• Apply principles and practices to advance organizational change in the real world.
• Design a concrete action plan for advancing individual change initiatives.
