Minority Leadership Program: Executive Activator (MLP EA) is a supplement to the original program and includes classic MLP elements and newly designed content. MLP: EA will build on previous cycles of the program by curating a space rooted in social justice, for senior level health department leaders of color to engage in critical conversations around relinquishing power; program sustainability; overcoming institutional barriers to equity; developing succession plans; addressing workforce wellness; dismantling white supremacy; and establishing leadership accountability mechanisms.
MLP has traditionally served as a launchpad for dozens of public health professionals of color to visualize and own their leadership roles in ending health inequities. NASTAD recognizes the need to further increase the capacity of senior level executives of color in health departments, and this version of the program will equip them with the peer support and introspection needed to advance their own leadership goals and the priorities of their respective health departments.
