This year's NALBOH Conference brought together public health leaders and board members from across the country for three days of insight, collaboration, and strategic learning. Highlights included the Talking Health communications workshop from the de
Beaumont Foundation, keynote addresses from leaders at NACCHO, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Trust for America’s Health, and a series of breakout sessions covering board governance, public health law, federal policy, community engagement, and financial
sustainability. From foundational public health services to emerging issues like health misinformation and nicotine product regulation, attendees left equipped with practical tools and strategies to strengthen local health governance and improve population
health outcomes.

What Attendees are saying about the 2025 Conference
"Local Boards of Health - Public Health's best kept secret and most underutilized resource."
"The title may have 'National' in it but really, we are all family and this conference feels like that. You see familiar faces and hear from friendly voices that rejuvenate you to do the work you're already passionate about."
"Thank you for all you do to keep the public safe in our Nation and in all of our States and Counties. This was a very good conference and I enjoyed meeting board members from other states."
