Membership in the National Forum for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention is comprised of two member categories: Organizational Members and Individual Members. Both member categories are required to complete a membership application form. The Membership Committee reviews the applications and makes recommendations to the Coordinating Board for confirmation.
1) Organizational members provide expertise, support, collaborative leadership and participation in joint actions that impact the recommendations in A Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke (Action Plan). The organization’s staff and volunteers, as member delegates, help implement, expand and champion National Forum projects that address heart disease and stroke prevention efforts. Organizational members are committed to providing resources and forming effective and beneficial partnerships with the National Forum. Organizational Members may actively engage in the work of the National Forum by participating on Implementation Groups and Committees.
2) Individual Members provide expertise, support, and participation in joint actions that impact the recommendations in A Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke.
