NACCHO's Subject Matter Expert Advisory Workgroups are a primary and recognized vehicle for identifying the opportunities and challenges facing local health departments (LHDs) and the field at large. NACCHO members from all areas of public health come together to explore the many facets of the field and help NACCHO make the best decisions in serving its members, and local public health. A list of NACCHO's Subject Matter Expert Advisory Workgroups, along with their descriptions and the time commitments required to serve, is available here.
NACCHO invites LHD leaders and their staff to apply to help inform and guide NACCHO's projects. We invite you to lead your professional organization by sharing your talents and expertise. The application period for participation in our 2026-2027 Subject Matter Expert Advisory Workgroups will close on April 30, 2026. Participation in NACCHO's Workgroups is a benefit of active NACCHO Membership. For more information, email membership@naccho.org.
