Academy for Healthcare Management
The Academy offers "industry-wide educational programs focusing on the unique complexities associated with managed health care."

Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges
Although their membership group is university and college board members, if one substitutes health for colleges and universities, their mission "to advance the practice of citizen trusteeship and help ensure the quality and success of our nation's colleges and universities [health]," can be substituted for the mission of most boards of health. The site has governance resources that may be helpful for board members, such as the Center for Pubic Health Trusteeship and Governance.

General page for what should be included in a board orientation packet. The site also contains links of various topics useful for Board Governance.

Community Tool Box
The Community Tool Box "is intended for everyone addressing issues in local communities. The core of the Tool Box is the 'how-to tools.' These how-to sections use simple, friendly language to explain how to do the different tasks necessary for community health and development. For instance, there are sections on leadership, strategic planning, community assessment, advocacy, grant writing and evaluation. Each section includes a description of the task, advantages of doing it, step-by-step guidelines, examples, checklists of points to review and training materials." In addition, there are links to other web sites and listservs relating to the topics in the Tool Box.

Governance Institute
