2027 Working Group Proposal Form

DUE JULY 1, 2026. Thank you for submitting a working group proposal for the NCPH 2027 annual meeting in St. Louis, Missouri. Proposers of working groups will be notified of their acceptance status in early August. Please note that all accepted presenters are required to submit a non-refundable registration payment by November 1, 2026. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].

What is an NCPH Working Group?

NCPH working groups are seminar-like conversations of 8-14 people who meet virtually before and in person during the annual conference to explore, in-depth, a subject of shared concern. Working groups have a purpose they are working toward, a problem they are actively trying to solve. The working group proposal must articulate this as well as an end product(s) that the group seeks to create. See 2019's working groups via https://ncph.org/conference/2019-annual-meeting/working-groups/ as an example.
