Members Council
Members are voting members of NAHEC at the annual meeting and are eligible to participate in the Members Council. The Members Council meets regularly to consider and evaluate issues and trends of the field with analysis and evaluation; develops appropriate proposals and programs for advancing the field; promotes collaboration among members; provides analysis and recommendations to the Board of Directors to inform and support the field.
The Members Council consists of one delegate and one alternate from each Member organization. The representative’s chief focus within their organization must be the delivery of health education and/or oversight of the health education program.
Accreditation
Accreditation brings national recognition to a health education program for its commitment to excellence, accountability, high professional standards, and continued institutional improvement. The Accreditation Program serves as the field's primary vehicle for quality assurance, self-regulation, and public accountability. Developed and sustained by health education professionals, the program reflects, reinforces, and promotes best practices, institutional ethics, and the highest standards of health education program operations. Only members can undergo this process and become accredited.
