When is the CCHN Emerging Talent Leadership Workshop being held? 

The CCHN Emerging Talent Leadership workshop will be held over three days, April 13-15, 2016 in Denver, CO. Participants must attend all three days of the workshop, for the curriculum is integrated and builds on itself over time. Sessions will be held from 7:30 am – 4:30 pm and participants are expected to attend the entire day.  There is an administrative fee of $110 to attend the CCHN Emerging Talent Leadership Workshop.  This fee covers administrative expenses including breakfast, lunch and snack that are not covered by other funding. 

Individuals recommended for this training are:

 Medical assistants, front desk, behavioral health specialists, outreach workers, patient navigators, PCMH leads and other staff who have had limited opportunities to learn leadership, communication and team-building skills outside of a work setting.
