Purpose
Hello! We are a group of national organizations collaborating to develop tools, resources, and networking opportunities for state HPV coalitions. We highly encourage cross-sector collaboration, especially between immunization and comprehensive cancer efforts. Through this task group, we seek to:
- Foster coalition building and use of coalition tools
- Provide networking opportunities for states to learn from one another
- Provide access to national HPV vaccination experts
- Provide a forum for best-practices to rise from the state level to the national Roundtable and flow from the national Roundtable to the states
- Provide a space for national partners to coordinate state-level efforts
- Provide guidance on evaluation of state-based efforts
Chair: Bethany Kintigh, RN
Staff Liaison: Jennifer Nkonga

September 2018 Update:
The task group is currently working on several projects:
- State HPV Coalition Survey: This fall, we plan to reach out to coalition leaders to inquire about current priorities, and how the HPV Roundtable may be of further support to this work. We understand that the work varies state to state, so all the better reason to touch base to hear the latest and greatest.
- Online collaboration: We’ll be exploring how we can help state and local coalitions connect virtually with each other to share promising practices and exchange information.
- Southeastern U.S. HPV Coalition Leadership Summit: We will bring together willing coalition leaders from selected southeastern states in early 2019 to learn, network, and connect with national thought leaders. We want to help build momentum and support regional efforts.

Online Guide for State & Local Coalitions
Recommended as a valuable resource by the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, our online guide for state and local HPV vaccination coalitions curates go-to resources to inform collaborative efforts. We continue to add to and grow the guide to meet the needs expressed by coalition leaders. This handout was created to share and promote the guide at coalition meetings or events.
