Why Attend?

Attending the 2025 APHSA Economic Mobility & Well-Being (EMWB) Conference provides invaluable knowledge to attendees and their organizations. The EMWB conference is jointly hosted by three APHSA affinity groups: American Association of SNAP Directors (AASD), National Association for Program Information and Performance Measurement (NAPIPM), and National Association of State TANF Administrators (NASTA). The event brings together those committed to providing and improving human services programs. Attendees can network with others in the human services sector, connect with our wide range of Strategic Industry Partners, and have unparalleled access to learnings over three days of small groups and sessions.

The EMWB annual conference brings together those 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. The conference also provides guidance on how best to monitor quality control and performance management. By bringing policy, practice, research, and a wide array of programs together, we aim to advance our collective goal of assisting all in achieving economic mobility and well-being.
