The <br />Mentorship Program provides opportunities for local health department (LHD) staff to <br />learn about the Retail Program Standards through active participation and training, share <br />experiences and develop tools and resources related to the Retail Program Standards, <br />and support the ongoing effort to increase the use of the Retail Program Standards <br />nationwide. LHDs seeking assistance on the Retail Program Standards were matched to <br />seasoned Retail Program Standards mentors from a LHD to help progress the work <br />towards meeting Retail Program Standards while building sustained capacity within the <br />LHD. <br />Mentors are encouraged to assist mentee LHDs in preparing for self -assessments and <br />verification audits and in developing improvement plans. Through the program, NACCHO <br />has gathered a wide variety of qualitative data about the Retail Program Standards from <br />the perspective of the LHD.
