APHSA Economic Mobility & Well-Being Conference

Attending the 2026 APHSA Economic Mobility & Well-Being Conference provides invaluable knowledge to attendees and their organizations. The EMWB conference is jointly hosted by three APHSA affinity groups: the American Association of SNAP Directors (AASD), the National Association for Program Information and Performance Measurement (NAPIPM), and the National Association of State TANF Administrators (NASTA).

Attendees can network with others in the human services sector, connect with our wide range of Strategic Industry Partners, and access insights through small groups and larger sessions focused on the following five topics:

Improving SNAP Payment Accuracy, Quality Control, and Program Integrity
Implementing SNAP Work Requirements and Employment Supports
Strengthening Families and Communities Through TANF and Human Services
Modernizing Benefits Delivery to Expand Access and Improve Outcomes
Advancing Innovation, Waivers, and Program Design

The EMWB annual event brings together individuals committed to providing and improving human services programs. It is designed to assist human services leaders, policymakers, and researchers in shaping the future of human services programs through collaboration, integration, and modernization, as well as guidance on how best to monitor quality control and performance management. By bringing together policy, practice, research, and a wide array of programs, we aim to advance our collective goal of helping all achieve economic mobility and well-being.
