10/20/2026 | 2:30-4:30pm | CHWs Shaping the Future of Healthy Aging [In-Person Event]
Nichole Kain with the State of Minnesota’s Long-Range Planning team will join the Minnesota Community Health Worker Alliance for a fun and engaging in-person session on using stories to help shape statewide decisions. Long-Range Planning helps Minnesota think ahead by coordinating across state agencies and connecting with community. This is an opportunity for community health workers to speak directly to state partners and share stories, experiences, and ideas about healthy aging. Insights shared by CHWs will inform Minnesota’s long-range plans for aging, identify gaps in current approaches, and help guide meaningful change.
This event will include time for networking with other CHWs and snacks!
