Reflections on a Shared Day of Community and Commitment On April 25, the North Carolina Global Health Alliance welcomed 120 members of our state’s global health community to the NC Biotechnology Center for a powerful day of reflection, reconnection, and forward momentum. The Global Health Futures Symposium was more than a professional gathering—it was a reunion, a healing space, and a rallying cry. As we gathered over coffee, breakfast, and long-overdue hugs, it was clear how much we all needed this moment. In the wake of an unprecedented 95-day pause in U.S. foreign aid programs—triggered by an Executive Order to “Reevaluate and Realign” international assistance—our sector has been shaken. Jobs lost. Futures uncertain. But our purpose remains clear. In her opening remarks, Brianna Clarke-Schwelm , Executive Director of NCGHA, met the moment with honesty. She spoke to the exhaustion and uncertainty many in the room were feeling — and also to the unshakable importance of our work. “This is lifesaving work,” she said, “and when we say lifesaving, that is not hyperbole.” Quoting John Lewis, she reminded us: “...each one of us in every generation must do our part… the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and a more peaceful world.” To open our hearts before the policy conversations began, Brianna introduced Emily Cataneo and Arshia Simkin , founders of the Redbud Writing Project , who invited attendees to engage in healing through storytelling. They led with a poignant reading, then encouraged everyone to write—offering writing prompts and a midday workshop that many attendees described as moving and transformative. The first panel, moderated by Brianna, brought Elisha Dunn-Georgiou , JD, MS, President & CEO of the Global Health Council, and Jeremy Tolbert , Deputy National Outreach Director of the US Global Leadership Coalition, into conversation on the state of global health advocacy. They unpacked the challenges of navigating today’s political climate, from litigation to preserve global health funding to reframing how we talk about international investment with local relevance. “Leading globally matters locally,” Jeremy reminded us—a theme echoed throughout the day. After the break (and Redbud’s writing workshop), we shifted focus to the local application of global expertise. In a session facilitated by Deborah Baron , PhD, MPH, MIA, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Health Behavior at UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, panelists Laura Rowley , PhD, Vice President of Life Sciences Economic Development at the NC Biotechnology Center and Patrick Brown , PharmD, Executive Director of the NC Public Health Collaboration, explored how global health skills—advocacy, cross-sector leadership, resilience—can and should power local health efforts. Their message was clear: your skills are transferable, and North Carolina needs you. In a moving moment that left few dry eyes, Redbud returned to the stage to introduce two audience members who shared stories they had written that day—raw reflections of service, struggle, and enduring commitment to health equity. NC Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall closed the symposium with a powerful reminder of North Carolina’s long-standing and ongoing role in global health leadership. Drawing on her office’s 26-year partnership with Moldova, she emphasized the importance of diplomacy, collaboration, and storytelling. “You represent the best of who we are,” she said. “As you listen, collaborate, and lead—never turn down the opportunity to share your story.” Brianna concluded the day with a message of belonging: whether or not you remain in the traditional global health sector, you will always be part of this community. The North Carolina Global Health Alliance is, and will remain, a home for all who believe in global health equity. Let us continue the climb—together. With Closing Remarks From Elaine F.

Applications are closed for the 2026 - 2027 Emerging Leaders in Global Health Cohort A leadership program for North Carolina's next generation of global health changemakers. The North Carolina Emerging Leaders in Global Health cohort is a selective, year-long leadership development program designed to prepare the next generation of North Carolina's global health changemakers. Bringing together six undergraduate and graduate students from North Carolina universities, the program provides hands-on experience in leadership, advocacy, communication, and professional engagement. Through monthly virtual sessions, mentorship from professionals, experiential learning opportunities, and site visits to local organizations, the Emerging Leaders gain a deeper understanding of the state's unique global health ecosystem while developing the confidence and skills to become effective and professional communicators and advocates for global health. Application Has Closed What Emerging Leaders Can Expect The Emerging Leaders program is designed to be an active, hands-on leadership experience. Throughout the year, cohort members will meet virtually with Visiting Experts from across North Carolina's global health community, exploring topics including the evolution of North Carolina's global health sector, the business of global health, leadership through crisis, navigating careers in a post-USAID landscape, business development, and building public-private partnerships. These conversations are designed to give Emerging Leaders an inside look at the many pathways and perspectives that shape global health in North Carolina. Emerging Leaders will not simply attend these conversations, they will lead them. Each of the six cohort members will be responsible or preparing and facilitating one Visiting Expert session. This includes communicating directly with the guest speaker, developing discussion questions, preparing a short memo for the cohort, and facilitating the conversation. Additional skill-building throughout the year will focus on networking, communication, public speaking, advocacy, and professional presence. Cohort members will also participate in NCGHA events and field visits with organizations across North Carolina's global health ecosystem. The program culminates in the Emerging Leaders Showcase at NCGHA's Spring Event on April 7, 2027. Beginning in the fall, each Emerging Leader will start exploring the idea they want to share. In January, they will work one-on-one with the NCGHA Executive Director to develop their concept, followed by a writing workshop, dedicated writing time, in-person rehearsal, & individual coaching. Each Emerging Leader will ultimately deliver a memorized 5-8 minute presentation without notes or slides to an audience of approximately 150 global health professionals, sharing their perspective on an important issue and their vision for the future of global health. This is a competitive cohort and a significant professional commitment. Emerging Leaders are expected to attend all regular cohort meetings, with the ability to miss one meeting as long as it is not the meeting they are responsible for leading. Any missed training must be made up with their peers . All participants are expected to approach the program with the professionalism, preparation, and commitment they would bring to a job. In return, Emerging Leaders will have an opportunity to learn from accomplished professionals, build relationships across North Carolina's global health community, develop skills that will serve them throughout their careers, and take the stage to share their own vision. Application Requirements Applications closed Friday, September 25 at 5:00 pm ET. Check back here soon for updates on our 2026-2027 cohort!
