Leaders across Borders (LaB) is an advanced leadership development program funded by the U.S.-Mexico Border Health Commission. The idea is to build bi-national leadership capacity of public health, health care, and other community sectors to improve the health of communities in the U.S.- México border region.
Right now (and through February 13) we’re looking for public health, health care, and other community-sector leaders to apply for the next year’s leadership academy. We’re looking for folks that: 1) have at least five years’ experience working in the U.S.-México border region; 2) are committed to working with vulnerable populations and promoting health equity, eliminating health disparities, and increasing quality of life within the U.S.-México border region; and 3) want to enhance their leadership and health diplomacy skills, professional networks, and understanding of binational public health assets, challenges, and systems as a means to identify solutions.
LaB participants should: 1) be able to serve as health professionals regardless of academic level; 2) have 5-years of experience working in public health, health-related fields, or community settings within the U.S.-México border region; 3) currently work in a leadership role; and 4) be proficient in English and Spanish. Scholarships may available to cover travel, lodging, and per diem expenses.
