    <div>Proposed team, resumes, writing/research project sample for at least one team member, statement of interest stating why you want to do this, statement that the team will have the time to work on this (if you have 6 courses and an internship this Spring you probably do not have time), and the team has the skill set needed. I can look up transcripts.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>iOme Challenge Team can be the e-mail subject line</div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs Conference</Title>
<Tagline>March, DC, free sessions for students</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>From our collegues at AMCHP:</p>
    <p>The <a href="https://amchp.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Association of Maternal &amp; Child Health Programs (AMCHP)</a> is the national membership association for state and jurisdictional governmental public health leaders working to advance and protect maternal and child health across the country. Each year, our Annual Conference brings together leaders, practitioners, partners, and emerging professionals working across maternal health, early childhood, adolescent health, disability, and children with special health care needs.  </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>As part of the <strong>2026 AMCHP Annual Conference (March 7–10, Washington, DC)</strong>, we are offering a set of skills-building sessions designed in direct response to needs we're hearing across the field. One of these sessions, <strong>Maternal Health Data 101</strong>, will take place the <strong>morning of March 7</strong> and is especially well suited for students with an interest in domestic maternal health. This three-hour, beginner-friendly session introduces the maternal health data sources shaping public dialogue and debate, while also helping participants understand what those data do <em>not</em> capture. Importantly, this is not a technical training for epidemiologists or data analysts. Rather, it is designed for anyone seeking to feel grounded in U.S. maternal health data and more confident participating in conversations about how data inform policy, programs, partnerships, and narrative change. Participants will learn how to place data within broader systems and community contexts and explore how data can be used responsibly to move knowledge into action. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>We would be grateful if you would share this opportunity with your students. Access to the full day of skills-building sessions on March 7 is <strong>$75</strong>, and a <a href="https://amchp2026.eventscribe.net/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">full agenda and link to register is available </a>here. The flyer attached to this email provides information on all skills-building opportunities and how to register for these session only. Students are also warmly invited to attend the broader conference, and we encourage institutions to consider sponsoring student participation where possible. For students who may not have financial support, AMCHP also offers <strong>volunteer opportunities</strong> that provide access to conference programming as schedules allow. </p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If you or your students have questions and/or would like to sign up to volunteer, please feel free direct them to reach out to me (Kameron Jones) at <a href="mailto:krjones@amchp.org" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">krjones@amchp.org</a>.  </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>We are eager to partner with you and your students in shaping the future of MCH and public health. We hope to welcome some of your students to the conference this March! </p>
    <p><br></p>
