My name is Bruce Summers, I live in Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC in the United States. I am the logistics lead for the World Bank - Health Systems Flagship Team. I am also the Community Manager/Facilitator for the Health Systems HNP Flagship Community of Practice (Flagship CoP). Prior to this, for the past 9 years I worked as a core member of the World Bank Group - Community of Practice (CoP) Central Team - a Center of Excellence supporting a network of over 350 Internal and External CoPs. At the American Red Cross I was the national volunteer engagement lead support a network of 900 plus Directors and Chairs of Volunteers for over 700 affiliated chapters and regions engaging over 1 million volunteers annually in Service Delivery. For the 2021 Global Health Systems Flagship Course I was the facilitation coach for the Presentation Teams as we planned and delivered our first all virtual Health Systems Flagship Course to over 300 participants from 27 different countries. I can share Flagship content, virtual facilitation, collaboration and community of practice, also volunteer engagement tools and tactics. I look forward to learning from community members and to bridging people and resources together to strengthen connectivity, the health system, and to help countries achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) objectives. I look forward to getting to know you:)

Dear Flagship participants - First of all, a big thanks to Bruce for setting this site up for us. It's the first time we've had this and it means that we now have a forum for continuing the conversation we started with so many people in June of this year during our first virtual Flagship course.
My name is Sarah Alkenbrack and I'm a Senior Health Economist working at the World Bank in Washington, DC, where I live with my husband and three children. I am originally from Ontario, Canada. My expertise is in health financing and I've spent a lot of my career working at the intersection of health systems and donor-funded programs, most recently with Gavi and now working on COVAX. I am also on the faculty of the Flagship course and am very interested in finding ways for the Bank to better facilitate peer-to-peer learning between countries. I am also interested in finding ways to improve aid effectiveness and this starts with centering the conversation around country priorities. We look forward to hearing from you about what types of support the Bank can offer as you embark on health systems reforms in your countries. Please let us know how we can support you through the delivery of courses, compilation of good practices, or by connecting you to experts.
