2022 CHAMPS Network Leadership Meeting Takes Place in Atlanta

April 28, 2022

CHAMPS leaders, staff, and partners gathered virtually and in-person in Atlanta for three days of engaging discussions about CHAMPS projects and our goals for the future.

CHAMPS’ work is only possible through the collaboration of a network of experts who understand the global health landscape and are committed to building knowledge and influencing change to save children’s lives.

Thank you to everyone who engaged in discussions with us throughout the week. We are privileged to join you in this pivotal work as we strengthen existing partnerships and expand the CHAMPS network.
