NACCHO, with generous support from the CDC, is seeking a qualified consultant to provide graphic design for course materials related to the new local health officer (LHO) training program. The materials to be designed include program logo, promotional materials, slide decks, participant guidebook, coaching guidebook, and participant blueprint development plan. The consultant will closely engage with NACCHO staff to develop design materials that align with NACCHO design and brand standards. Consultants should have experience designing training materials, preferably for high-level executives and/or public health audiences.

The LHO training program is a 12-month learning experience that builds leadership capabilities through active engagement, exploration, coaching, goal setting and practice, and will launch the first cohort in January 2025. The program is designed for LHOs who have been in their position for two years or fewer. The unique aspects include the use of a community learning approach that incorporates external trainers, coaches, and facilitators from various local health departments, Subject Matter Experts, experienced LHOs, and NACCHO staff. The curriculum is designed for the modern learner and is based on current and emerging LHO roles and responsibilities. The curriculum is based on the findings of an extensive needs assessment and the development of the curriculum is being guided by an Advisory Committee made up of new and experienced LHOs. In addition, the curriculum review process engaged a diverse pool of LHOs representing different jurisdictions, LHD size, geographic locations, governance structure, and lengths of service. Deadline: Friday, November 3, 2023, 11:59pm ET. The RFP can be found here.
