Beyond Business Cards: Networking with Purpose: How CHWs and Allies Can Build Meaningful Connections That Lead to Real Opportunities
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.

The Missing Ingredient in CHW Program Success: How Technical Assistance Strengthens Programs, Partnerships, and Outcomes
Community Health Worker programs need more than strong ingredients. They need support to bring those ingredients together.
Join the Center for Community Health Alignment (CCHA) and envision for an interactive webinar exploring the often-overlooked ingredient in CHW program success: technical assistance (TA).

The webinar will also highlight key insights from a recent national CHW Capacity Building Assessment, capturing perspectives from organizations and partners across more than 46 states and territories. These findings reinforce what many organizations are experiencing firsthand: strong programs need practical support to move from planning to implementation and long-term success.
