Practitioner Workshop Sponsorship

In the last several decades, hundreds of communities worldwide have benefited from health impact assessments (HIAs) and Health in All Policies (HiAP). As the sole membership association for HIA practitioners, SOPHIA now has several hundred members worldwide. One of the main services SOPHIA provides to its members is organizing the HIA Practitioner Workshop. 

Annually, this event attracts approximately 50 health impact assessment and HiAP practitioners for strategic field building through workshops, presentations and networking. The participants represent a wide range of organizations and agencies, including government, academia, non-profits, community groups, private sector companies and health care systems. Our services continue to grow, and additional resources are needed to maintain and improve member services, training and technical assistance, and engage and support volunteers.

Participants report that the Workshop helps them connect with fellow practitioners, learn about new tools and resources, improve their HIA and HiAP capacity, and provide leadership to the field. The partnerships and initiatives formed at the Workshop often continue for years. Additionally, past workshops have produced seminal resources, including the Minimum Elements and Practice Standards and Guidance for Communicating about Equity in HIA. These resources and others produced at the Workshop are utilized by HIA/HiAP practitioners, funders, grantees, and partners alike as the gold standard for the HIA field and have helped unify and elevate HIA and HiAP practice worldwide.

SOPHIA is seeking sponsors who would be willing to help us host Workshops and support the field of HIA and HiAP. There are several different sponsorship levels and benefits to supporting SOPHIA this way.
