The Center for Public Health Leadership creates a space for members to connect with each other and participate in meaningful dialogue and idea-sharing through opportunities such as Chronic Disease Director Forum Webinars, Regional Network Meetings, and interest groups.

Through practice and research chats, this group provides informal opportunities to build relationships and explore various topics of interest. The group is open to State and Territorial Chronic Disease Units and researchers from CDC-funded Prevention Research Centers. All Chronic Disease Directors and Chronic Disease Unit Staff are invited to attend. Chats are virtual, via Zoom, and are offered four times per year.
