ASPHN Liaisons Strengthen and Support Your Work

Extending Your Collaborative Reach

As a public health nutritionist, your work is rarely done in isolation. More often than not, successful outcomes depend on the strength of your partnerships and collaborations.

Summary: On a national level, ASPHN follows a parallel path. Several of our member-driven councils and committees develop strategic partnerships with other associations, non-profits, and government agencies to support and extend the work our members are doing at the state, local, or tribal level.

Educational Opportunities and Online Tools for Success

Collaboration Resources Available Through ASPHN

An unlikely partnership between a children’s book author and an emerging leadership expert led to one of the most enduring best sellers of our time, The One Minute Manager. According to Ken Blanchard, PhD, one of the book’s co-authors, “Sometimes the most interesting collaborations are when you both bring to the party very different things.”*

Summary: In the realm of public health nutrition, ideas are often plentiful, but resources, funds, and manpower are typically limited. Identifying, forging, and maintaining strong partnerships with organizations that bring very different things to the table require knowledge and understanding. ASPHN offers a number of different tools to help you navigate the intricacies of collaboration and hone your skills for successful outcomes.
