The American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) is a bipartisan national membership association representing the cabinet-level leadership of state and local human services agencies. The subject matter experts help execute their mission to improve outcomes for people nationwide. Building on our long-standing relationships across the human services field and direct connection to the in-depth knowledge of leaders who administer them, we focus on generating pragmatic, community-wide solutions that advance well-being.

 

APHSA connects its members to national policymakers and human-serving organizations across a wide circle of stakeholders in the health and human services sector and key partners in education, housing, employment, and others. APHSA also helps members build more capacity for their teams through access to our professional education and development conferences, technical expertise, publications, and organizational effectiveness practice.
