The Association for Community Health Improvement (ACHI) will hold its national conference for community health and community benefit in St. Louis, Missouri, March 12-14, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch.  The conference is planned to help attendees succeed inside their organizations in meeting new requirements and opportunities; work effectively on a local and regional level as health improvement leaders; and connect to peers and national organizations, resources and tools.  The conference will focus on four major topic tracks to expand knowledge and enhance performance in achieving community health goals:

•    Advancing Community Health Assessment Tactics and Tools
