With and through its members, APHSA strives to (1) influence outcome-focused policies and practices that best position human service agencies to impact the populations they serve; (2) build the knowledge base of health and human service professionals by advancing evidence-informed practices and innovations; and (3) connect members with other key partners and experts to collectively leverage transformation at local, state and national levels.

Our value proposition of Influence, Build, and Connect motivates and guides the way we do business. The staffing team at APHSA is at the heart of our ability to deliver on our members’ expectations of us. In order to most effectively deliver value, we actively work together as a team. In this teaming environment, we coordinate our actions, listen to other view points, and enable shared decisions through distributed leadership. We promote collective learning, always considering ways in which to improve the work we do. To this end, we encourage all team members to speak up with ideas and concerns, share information, seek help, experiment with new ways of doing work, and talk openly about mistakes
