It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to join us for Michigan Community Health Worker Alliance's (MiCHWA) 12th Annual Meeting, a landmark event that holds special significance this year.

Event Details:

Date: Friday, October 11, 2024
Time: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Location: Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest, in the Eagle Crest Resort, 1275 S Huron St., Ypsilanti, MI 48197
Format: In-person meeting

Our theme, "Empowering Change: Building a Resilient Future Together" signifies our commitment to bring together CHWs, CHW Employers, and Allies to collectively chart the future of the community health worker workforce. This year's Annual Meeting is one marking significant change - we want to see community health workers' value reflected in their compensation. We aim to upskill CHWs for a new era. We will accomplish this by developing CHWs' skills and specializations, thus increasing their credibility. Your support will empower CHWs to continue bridging gaps, build upon their professional credentials, and allow them to capture additional funding to continue their crucial work.

This year marks our return to an in-person only event. We could not be more excited to see Michigan's CHWs, employers, allies, and other stakeholders all together in person!

You will select 1 morning breakout session and 1 afternoon breakout session from several different options. In addition, the Resilience Center will be available for attendees' self-care activities throughout the day.
