National Association of County and City Health Officials

What National Association of County and City Health Officials does

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership association founded in 1965 and headquartered at 1201 Eye Street NW, Washington, D.C. NACCHO represents more than 3,300 local health departments across the United States — covering nearly 75% of the U.S. population — and serves over 13,000 individual members through a tiered membership structure spanning local/tribal health departments, affiliate organizations, students, and corporate partners. Its mission is to improve community health by strengthening and advocating for local health departments through federal policy engagement, professional development, technical assistance, and knowledge sharing.

NACCHO's core technology platform comprises a portfolio of digital infrastructure rather than a single product: the MyNACCHO member portal, NACCHO University (a Maplelms-based learning management system), Virtual Communities (online member forum), and the NACCHO Toolbox (a free resource library). Differentiated proprietary assets include the Model Practices Database, the National Profile of Local Health Departments study (the largest U.S. data source on LHDs), the MAPP strategic planning framework, and the STD Registry. The organization also operates four major conferences — NACCHO360, Preparedness Summit, Public Health Law Convening, and Vector Control Summit — alongside podcasts, newsletters, advisory workgroups, and a Career Center job board.

The revenue model is a four-stream blend: (1) recurring membership dues from LHDs and affiliates, (2) the Affiliate Business Partner Program with Diamond/Platinum/Gold/Silver/Bronze tiers (anchored by bioMérieux, Microsoft, Gilead, Sanofi, ViiV, Quest, Cepheid, Verily, Pfizer among others), (3) conference and event registration/sponsorship, and (4) federal grants and cooperative agreements supporting preparedness, HIV/STI, environmental health, and workforce programs. NACCHO is governed by a 20-member Board of Directors and led by CEO Lori Tremmel Freeman, with a 100+ employee staff. The organization is independent, with no parent company or subsidiaries.

• National Association of Counties (NACo): Founding partner of NACCHO and a direct peer as a county-government membership association providing advocacy, training, and convening for county officials — overlapping member audience and policy agenda.
