Explore Resilience in the Global Health Ecosystem at this Year's North Carolina Global Health Conference! The North Carolina Global Health Alliance's 10th Annual Conference will take place on November 1, 2023 at NC State University’s McKimmon Center in Raleigh, NC. At this year's event, our global health community will come together to evaluate what it means to have Resilience in the Global Health Ecosystem. Through this theme, we will reflect on the unique components of our resilient global health ecosystem; both those that bolster our resiliency as individuals and also those that strengthen our resiliency as a community in the face of an ever-evolving global landscape. The last few years have forced us all to “pivot” time and time again, and this conference is an invitation to our global health community to take stock of all that has changed and evaluate what has worked that we should bring forward and what has not served us that we should leave behind. This conference is a highly curated intentional space for innovative thinkers to come together to address some of the world's biggest health issues in an inclusive, creative, and bold environment. It will be a space for learning, sharing, reflecting, and connecting, and will serve as just the first step for countless conversations that we will bring forward into the coming year. Speakers include leaders and visionaries from academia, biopharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, government, medicine, NGOs, and philanthropy. Our three sub-themes will allow us to dive deep into what makes our Global Health Ecosystem Resilient and how we can strengthen that resilience through the choices we make as individuals and as a community. Sub-themes: Expanding Global Health Partnerships : Global health has expanded to include a broader, more diverse range of partners. Who are the partners at this new global health table and how do we work together in this new environment? Who is not at the table that needs to be and how do we include them? Adapting the Way We Work : The workplace is different than it was five years ago – and so are we! How have we adapted to our new environment? What is working for us and how do we let go of what isn’t? Deepening Community Relationships : Localization faces countless challenges. How do we overcome them for a more equitable, collaborative, and sustainable approach to global health? Join us as we come together in-person and learn from one another's big triumphs and big hiccups - We can't wait to see you there! Click to Register!

The 2022 NC Global Health Annual Conference At a time of global economic hardship, and when global health inequities are even more pronounced, our global health programs, services and research need to be more impactful than ever. Are we actually making a difference? Are our programs and services having the individual, social, economic and political impacts that are needed today? Is our research yielding the required evidence? Can we demonstrate this impact? Can we identify when they are not? What are the key elements of effective programs? What lessons can we learn? The 2022 Annual Conference explored these questions and the global health impact North Carolina's organizations, and those based nationally and globally, are having at the individual, community and global levels. Thank you to all of the amazing presenters, speakers, attendees, and sponsors who made the 2022 NC Global Health Annual Conference such a success!

Our Story Our Origin Story Before 2009, professionals and leaders in North Carolina would see each other at events, including dinners and receptions. They would say, "you know, we have so much in common." This included many shared interests and a commitment to global health, whether in North Carolina or across the globe. "We should do something together," they'd proclaim. But then they'd go home. And when they saw each other again, they'd have the same conversation and come to the same conclusion. ‘We should do something - together ." In 2009, they finally did. Leaders at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Duke University, North Carolina State University, North Carolina Biotechnology Center, FHI 360, IntraHealth International, and RTI International founded what was then known as the Triangle Global Health Consortium, which has now grown and become the North Carolina Global Health Alliance. The evolution of the Alliance hasn't changed its goal to be a successful convener, amplifier, and advocate for global health in the state and abroad, carrying out its mission through collaborative events, networking, and career development. But it's that original spirit that moved us, that recurring after-dinner conversation of "let’s do something together." That's the real tie that binds us together and keeps us moving forward into the future. Join Us! Serving Our Members We help people and groups discover and create the connections they would have otherwise not established. The Alliance is the source for: Partnering for growing business.

Access to new talent. By connecting our organizations and their staff and students, we put the Triangle’s exceptional talent to use regionally and globally. We also help prepare the next generation of global health leaders. Access to global health best practices.

Economic growth for the Alliance and North Carolina.

By combining our members’ voices into one common voice for global health, we convey more power, clout, and credibility with other businesses, governments, and communities regionally and worldwide.
