Associate Director, Workforce Development and Capacity Building
AMCHP
Washington, DC
Ben leads a dynamic staff team that is accountable for the development, implementation, and evaluation of program activities aligned with the "Maternal and Child Health Talent" core area of AMCHP's strategic plan. This includes intensive, individualized leadership development for current and aspiring professionals, focused capacity building with Title V programs and their agency/community partners, and the creation/dissemination of products to meet real-time workforce needs. Ben started his career as an educational equity advocate and community organizer in Baltimore and since then has amassed more than a decade of experience in developing and strengthening national-level programming aimed at aligning values, processes, and human outcomes within health and related systems. Immediately prior to AMCHP, he was the administrative and programmatic lead for a HRSA-funded resource center at the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) charged with providing comprehensive technical assistance to a $30 million portfolio of more than 60 training programs based at universities and children’s hospitals. This included implementing a range of strategies to help programs develop and sustain partnerships with state/territorial Title V agencies, increase the relevancy of pre-service training to current and anticipated workforce and population needs, address the degree to which public health policies and initiatives are grounded in evidence derived from lived experience, and ensure that MCH professionals from all disciplines can work within/across systems and bend them toward justice.
