This plenary builds on last year’s Sharing Your Why project, where we heard perspectives from a broad range of professionals, youth, and families on “why” they do the work they do in maternal and child health (MCH), what brought them to MCH, and what motivates them. This plenary shifts our focus from “why” to “how,” to learn about the qualities of systems, organizations, and people that support the cultivation of diverse leaders in MCH. The speakers have been crowdsourced from the field to tell their stories. Presenters will highlight the multiple ways in which their journey was shaped by systems, organizations, and people, sharing the actions that supported them and the obstacles they had to overcome.

AMCHP will be presenting the Emerging MCH Professionals for Regions I, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X.
