Author Biography:

The National Physical Activity Plan Alliance is a not-for-profit organization committed to ensuring the long-term success of the National Physical Activity Plan (NPAP). The alliance is governed by a board of directors composed of representatives of organizational partners and at-large experts on physical activity and public health. The key objectives of the alliance are to support implementation of the NPAP’s strategies and tactics, expand awareness of the NPAP among policy makers and key stakeholders, evaluate the NPAP on an ongoing basis, and periodically revise the NPAP to ensure its effective linkage to the current evidence base. The National Coalition for Promoting Physical Activity (NCPPA) is a blend of associations, health organizations, and private corporations advocating for policies that encourage Americans of all ages to become more physically active. NCPPA spearheads federal policy and advocacy work in support of the National Physical Activity Plan’s recommendations, and the organization maintains a strong voice for physical activity in Washington, DC, where NCPPA members and staff work together to encourage federal legislators to make policy changes that promote regular physical activity in all facets of life.
