Monthly · Second Thursdays
Leadership Exchange
A focused, actively facilitated virtual Leadership Exchange each month, built around one implementation problem and the practical questions peers actually need answered.
A verified public-sector implementation forum
Turning health policy into working outcomes
Protected peer exchange.
Practical implementation guidance.
HALSO is a verified implementation forum for public officials responsible for turning health policy, programs, and technology priorities into working outcomes.
HALSO actively facilitates protected, problem-led peer exchanges throughout the year and turns each major discussion into practical implementation guidance.
Applying does not create an account, reserve a seat, or guarantee acceptance.
Verified Public-Sector Membership
Complimentary
- Every public-sector applicant is manually reviewed before community access is approved.
- Approved applicants receive a separate personal community invitation.

Programming
Programming begins with implementation problems
Each working session starts from a problem submitted or validated by public-sector participants, and HALSO facilitates the exchange and the follow-through.
Periodic · Invitation
Closed peer roundtables
Small, invitation-based discussions for verified public-sector leaders. No recording. Commercial participants cannot purchase entry.

Founding flagship
A curated 25–40 person working convening with at least 60 percent public-sector participation and no exhibition floor.
Between exchanges
The work does not stop when the session ends
Ask a Peer
Bring a live challenge. HALSO puts you in the room with a member who has already worked it, personally rather than algorithmically.
Brokered peer connections
Tell us the challenge. HALSO identifies a relevant peer and asks both sides before making an introduction. No browsable public-sector directory.
Implementation guidance
Following each major exchange, HALSO will produce concise implementation guidance capturing practical approaches, unresolved questions, and considerations for future work.

Membership
Two doors in, one standard of trust
There is no automatic admission. Every public-sector applicant is manually reviewed before community access is approved.
Public-sector leaders
Deputy directors, agency CIOs, program leaders, and rising executives across state, local, territorial, tribal, and federal health agencies. Your seat is complimentary, your role is reviewed, and your presence is never monetized.
