For over 2 decades, national and regional public health leadership institutes have served the developmental needs of over 3000 public health leaders. As a result, their ability to practice leadership has improved, leader networks have developed, and organizational function has improved. Impact evaluation has shown sustainable benefits including tangible return on investment (ROI). The national Public Health Leadership Institute (PHLI) served as a model for the Caribbean Health Leadership Institute which will be discussed at this session.
