ARE YOU GETTING THE MOST OUT OF CORE GROUP LISTSERVS?
We offer many ways to connect with your peers throughout the year, both in person and online, and one of the most popular mechanisms is our email listservs.
The general CORE Group Community listserv is best for keeping up with CORE Group and global health news relevant to all, while our many Working and Interest Group listservs give you personalized content based on your areas of interest.
Listservs also allow you to share out your upcoming events, new tools, news, technical questions, and more to a large community of practitioners.
