APHA Your Way aims to meet member needs, increase member engagement and be proactive about future public health needs. See all we have accomplished in our new infographic. 

Join APHA to take advantage of many new opportunities for members.

We continue to work on these exciting improvements:

Update APHA’s data systems and technology.

APHA LEAD is our new online member community platform! We can’t wait to Learn, Engage, Advocate and Develop with you in the new home for public health professionals. Learn more.

Increase and improve mentoring programs.

Mentor Match

APHA's dynamic new online tool Mentor Match is part of your APHA LEAD member-only platform. The system features:

• A searchable database, allowing registered mentees to search among registered mentors using criteria like geographic location, public health interest and career stage.
• An easy enrollment and mentor relationship tracking process.
• Mentoring resources to get you and your mentee started off right.

We need experienced public health professionals like you to make it work. Learn more.

Distinguished Leaders Mentoring Series

Our bi-monthly Distinguished Leaders Mentoring Series webinars give small groups of APHA members face-to-face time with some of the top names in public health. Members have the opportunity to meet with public health champions, learn about their career path and ask questions about your own.
