As the professional association for public health in Nebraska, our shared vision is:

Driving Nebraska's public health forward.

We envision a future where our association members are supported, connected, and engaged to work together toward this vision. The mission of our association is:

To unite and amplify the voice of public health to promote healthier communities in Nebraska.

Five strategic objectives aim to achieve this mission.

1. Advance PHAN's advocacy efforts
2. Strengthen and expand strategic organizational partnerships
3. Grow PHAN’s organizational capacity and diversify revenue streams
4. Grow and support PHAN’s membership 
5. Increase organizational transparency

To guide our activities toward these objectives, we have the following committees established in 2025:

The Advocacy Committee works to inform, create, and influence legislation and policy while ultimately changing the environment in order to create circumstances in which optimal health is possible.

The Membership and Fundraising Committee is dedicated to identifying, engaging, and supporting new and existing members through networking, education, and collaboration.

The Communication and Education Committee coordinates events, including virtual PHAN Cafes and works with other committees to share updates, promote events, and create opportunities for member engagement.

The Finance Committee provides financial analysis, advice, and oversight of the organization's budget.
