Peer Assistance Network

In an effort to provide PACE EH users with additional technical assistance to increase utilization of the tool, NACCHO has organized a peer assistance network. Previous PACE EH users with various levels of expertise in implementing PACE EH will be available to guide communities involved or interested in using PACE EH.

The PACE EH Peer Assistance Network (PAN) will provide a venue for the exchange of advice and support between peers who are involved in a community-based environmental health assessment process. The PACE EH PAN will enable communities to benchmark their own practices against those of their peers and adopt the approaches that best meet their needs and are proven to be effective.

Peer advisors will be listed according to specialization to help inquiring organizations easily connect with an advisor that will be able to address their specific questions directly. Areas of specialization include but are not limited to:

• Capacity Building
• Marketing/Working with the Media
• Team Development
• Facilitation Skills
• Collaboration Methods
• Program Planning
• Fundraising/Grant Writing

PACE EH peer advisors participate on a voluntary basis, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis as each advisor’s time permits. Organizations requesting assistance that requires travel will be responsible for negotiating travel arrangements or travel reimbursement.
