Company Profile

Company Overview

APHSA is a bipartisan, nonprofit organization representing appointed state health and human service agency commissioners. APHSA was founded in 1930. APHSA is the only association of the nation's top government human service executives from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories—and their key state program managers, plus hundreds of county-level directors of human services throughout the nation—for the exchange of knowledge, data, best practices, policy review and development, networking and advocacy. APHSA houses nine affiliate organizations, whose members are the administrators which operate human service agency divisions or departments in the states and for the most part report to a state commissioner. The affiliates cover a variety of program specializations such as child welfare and income assistance programs as well as support functions such as program evaluation and staff training.
