Overview:

This is a live webinar on November 12, 2025, from 12:00 pm-1:30 pm ET. Participants will use Zoom to join. 

Budgeting doesn’t have to be intimidating—it’s a core skill for every public health professional navigating grant-funded programs. This session breaks down the essentials of budgeting and reframes financial management as a strategic tool for program success. Through practical examples and a touch of humor, participants will learn how to build budgets that support sustainability, align with program goals, and tell a compelling story of impact.

Beth Orero, MPH, is a seasoned public health warrior with over 15 years of experience managing complex, grant-funded programs across government, nonprofit, and healthcare sectors. She currently serves as a Learning Strategist at Emory Centers for Technical Assistance, where she supports CDC Diabetes Prevention Program recipients through strategic training, technical assistance, and peer learning initiatives.

Beth brings deep expertise in budget oversight, financial modeling, and securing federal funding to support sustainable public health infrastructure. She has successfully managed a $29M CDC Cooperative Agreement across 46 jurisdictions, led rapid workforce deployment, and improved financial systems for programs exceeding $10M in funding. Her work includes securing $1.5M in federal SPNS funding for HIV care and digitizing monitoring systems to enhance fiscal transparency.

 

Learning Objectives: By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Identify key components of a public health program budget, including common funding categories and allowable costs. 

  • Describe how budgeting supports program planning, performance tracking, and sustainability in grant-funded environments. 

  • Apply basic financial principles to public health scenarios, including budget development, revisions, and reporting. 

  • Recognize the value of integrating financial management into public health practice to strengthen program outcomes and resource advocacy. 

    CERTIFICATE: The course contains three modules: a module with pre-session questions, a module to access the webinar and an evaluation module. After accessing these modules, learners will earn a certificate of completion.
