NACDD Member Bene ts
“When I rst started in my position, I connected with multiple NACDD representatives, and they let me know about the services NACDD provides and which one I
might nd the most bene cial.”
Program Manager, Kansas
In 1988, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a group of state health department of cials founded the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors to support and encourage the next generation of leaders within state chronic disease programs. Since then, three decades later, we have grown to more than 6,500 public health professionals, advocates, nonpro t workers, healthcare providers, private industry executives, and more. As a result, NACDD has become a leading and in uential voice for all
those who seek to end the burden of chronic diseases in the United States and U.S. territories. However, our programs and activities remain focused on supporting the professinoal growth
and development of state health of cials.We know our Members may come to NACDD for different reasons, but as we face an increasingly challenging public health landscape, one thing remains constant: NACDD is here to serve you so that you can best serve your community.
