LAPH Building Adaptive Leaders Case Study (Center for Health Leadership & Impact, 2021)
LAPH has a long history of emphasizing adaptive leadership skill development in its program model and adaptive leadership principles are deeply embedded into LAPH’s program design and practices. In this case study, LAPH participants reported that the program impacted how they approached certain challenges in their applied projects, how they see themselves as leaders, and how their adaptive leadership skills have benefited work in their communities. As public health issues continue to evolve, programs like LAPH are crucial for supporting leaders develop the skills needed to effectively advance health and equity in our communities.
LAPH Health Equity and Racial Justice Case Study (Center for Health Leadership & Impact, 2021)
Driven by the history of public health and the rise in awareness of health inequities disproportionately affecting different areas of the country, LAPH committed to developing a program that bolsters skills and knowledge needed to address health equity within communities. The program design integrates health equity and related topics including racial justice, multi-sector engagement, and social determinants of health throughout program content. This case study was developed from an in-depth review of the health equity principles across program design, program materials, program surveys, and a series of retrospective interviews with LAPH alumni conducted in September 2021.
Collective Impact (Kania & Kramer, 2011)
“Large-scale social change requires broad cross-sector coordination, yet the social sector remains focused on the isolated intervention of individual organizations” (Kania & Kramer, 2011). This article featured in the Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR) explores the five conditions of collective success.

Press release (optional)
Creating a press release is a great way to announce your team’s participation in the Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (LAPH) and broadcast it through relevant state and local venues. We offer a template for the press release and the following guidance.
DATE
None specified, optional for anytime
Guidance for creating & distributing a press release
STEP 1
Create a distribution list
Compile a distribution list of relevant local and state governmental media sources, as well as local press sources, to receive and disseminate the press release. Examples include:
Regional or District Senator
District Congressperson
State Health Officer
County Health Officer
Local Mayoral Office
Local City Council
Local Newspapers
Relevant Websites
STEP 2
Write your press release
Review the press release template and provide additional information in all areas highlighted in yellow. Try to limit the press release to 300 to 500 words. Journalists and government officials receive dozens of releases each day and they tend to ignore those which are overly long.
STEP 3
Review for accuracy
Have several people review your press release for errors in grammar, content, etc. If you have any questions about how to complete the press release, please let us know.
STEP 4
Distribute the press release
Once finalized, distribute the press release to everyone on your distribution list.
STEP 5
Send the press release to CHLI staff
Please forward both your press release and distribution list to laph@healthleadership.org.
STEP 6
Maintain documentation
Maintain documentation of the distribution of the press release and copies of press releases (e.g., newspaper articles, etc.) and send any other press information to CHLI. Examples of other press information include articles in print or online publications, awards and other types of recognition, and anything else that brings your work attention from a greater audience.
