American Public Human Services Association
Thank you for all that you do each and
every day in advancing our shared
vision for healthier families, stronger
communities, and the sustained well-
being of our youth.
• Maintaining health
• Having success in the workplace
• Providing better opportunities for the
next generation
• Securing a sustainable future into
old age
These are what all of us want to
achieve. At APHSA, we work with
and through our members—this
nation’s public human service
leaders—to help make these
aspirations and possibilities real.
As you will see in the highlights and stories that follow, our member
agencies, together with many partners, are focused on investing
in preventive services, applying two-generation approaches, and
leveraging data and science in achieving that shared vision. By using
modern tools, being innovative, and keeping a resolute focus on
results, together we are driving transformation of our field.
It is truly an honor to chair the Board of APHSA during such a pivotal
and opportune time. I wish you all the best in the upcoming year and
look forward to advancing our partnership with you in 2016.
