The Region IV Public Health Training Center (PHTC) recently hosted members of their Steering Committee. Held in Atlanta, the meeting focused on providing direction for the work of the Center through July 2026.

Members of the Steering Committee include representatives from across the Region IV PHTC network of eight southeastern states including local, state, federal and tribal public health organizations and academia. The Committee also includes staff from the Region IV PHTC Central Office, Community-Based Training Partners, and Technical Assistance Partners.

Representing a diversity of public health perspectives, the role of the Steering Committee is to share information on the training needs of their workforce, speak on behalf of their organizational partners and underserved populations, provide content expertise, and share guidance on Region IV PHTC’s activities.
