NACHW is excited to invite all members to their Annual Meeting on August 4, 2026. This virtual gathering of members marks another year of success by the national voice of CHWs, and we, along with NACHW, want to celebrate with you.

Voting for members of the Board of Directors
Keynote speaker

Ready to roll up your sleeves and put envision’s CHW Financial Sustainability Toolkit to work?
This interactive, hands-on session with one of the authors will move beyond learning about the CHW FST and sustainable financing strategies to help you apply the tools to real-world CHW priorities.
Together, we’ll explore how braided and blended funding can bring multiple resources and partners together to sustain CHW positions and programs—and, importantly, how CHWs can use this knowledge to advocate for sustainable financing and influence the people who make funding decisions.
Through interactive activities and practical examples, participants will practice identifying potential funding pathways, recognizing key partners, and making the case for investing in and sustaining CHW work.
By the end, participants should be able to:
Recognize the different ways CHW work can be financed and support the full range of CHW work.
Identify who makes financing decisions in their organization, community or for a chosen strategy and what information those decision-makers need.
Begin developing an advocacy strategy that connects CHW impact and community priorities to potential funding and financing strategies.

This presentation explores the importance of vaccinations as a cornerstone of public health. It will explain how vaccines work to protect individuals from serious and preventable diseases, reduce the spread of infections, and contribute to herd immunity—helping safeguard those who cannot be vaccinated due to age or medical conditions. By highlighting scientific evidence, real-world impacts, and community-wide benefits, this presentation aims to reinforce why vaccinations are a safe, effective, and essential tool for maintaining healthy individuals and resilient communities.
Objectives
At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
Explain how vaccines work to prevent infectious diseases and protect individual health.
Describe the concept of herd immunity and why high vaccination rates are critical to protecting vulnerable populations.
