- Here is the welcome pageWe have an online community that is informed by community of practice theory. We are in the development stage – and trying out different ways to sharing information and resources online. One example that might interest you is a recent conversation thread about public health leadership for health equity. So that you can do is register, sign up for the community; review what others are talking about; share your own resources and information -- we could even start a discussion thread following this event if you wanted to continue the conversation
