As part of ASTHO’s technical assistance to the U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States, LPC founder Kelsey Donnellan worked as an employee of the organization and led the design of a bilingual two-day workshop to support Puerto Rico Department of Health’s equity strategy. The convening centered the importance of clarity, belonging, and practical action, incorporating program planning materials and peer-to-peer sharing. After designing the meeting, Kelsey worked with an interpreter to translate all of the materials. The meeting was facilitated completely in Spanish allowing a wider range of staff to participate. Facilitating the meeting in Spanish was made with the intention of flipping the power dynamic and honoring the agency’s official language. Authenticity and transparency are two core values of the work Kelsey does as part of LPC, and they saw this project as an opportunity to put values directly into action. At the close of the session, participants reported increased understanding of their role and confidence in moving the work forward.

hrough their work with NACCHO, LPC helped coordinate technical assistance across ten providers, facilitating conflict resolution, resource review, and staff development focused on public health and facilitation best practices. Our role also included advising on internal systems to support communication and role clarity across a dynamic of complex teams. LPC served as a liaison between NACCHO and their outside contractors, facilitating all project-related calls, and helped to triage communications by setting up a process for managing the project more efficiently. For example, LPC established monthly one-on-one calls with outside contractors and provided professional coaching to the staff on various topics, such as conflict resolution and facilitation. The goal was for the client to be trained on conflict resolution and facilitation so that they could continue facilitating the project once our work together was complete. LPC was able to improve communications, establish stronger team collaboration and partnerships with outside contractors, and even prepare and submit a comprehensive performance report for the agency’s funders.
