Administrators 101 Toolkit

A comprehensive guide for Local Health Department Administrators in Indiana

The Indiana Public Health Association, in collaboration with the Local Health Department Manager’s Association (LHDMA) of Indiana and with support from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), created the Administrators 101 Toolkit to support local health department administrators in their efforts to keep our communities healthy. The toolkit contains information, resources, templates, and other items which may serve to:


1) Orient new administrators to their role;

2) Provide existing administrators with guidance, as needed; and

3) Allow for greater statewide consistency in local health department service delivery and operations


The toolkit is a living resource and will be continually updated and expanded to reflect the ever-changing public health landscape and needs of local health department administrators and other staff.


An initial version of the Administrators 101 Toolkit was produced with funding from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support (CSTLTS), under grant number 5NU38OT000306-04-00, CFDA # 93.421. The contents of this resource are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of or endorsement by the CDC.
