The Texas Association of City & County Health Officials (TACCHO) plays a critical leadership role in strengthening public health across Texas. As EduClasses prepares to attend the TACCHO Public Health Conference in Austin, we’re highlighting the essential work TACCHO does and how our online training programs support the needs of its members and the communities they serve.

By bringing together local health authorities, TACCHO creates a statewide network where leaders can share data, compare strategies, and collaborate on solutions that improve health outcomes for millions of Texans. The organization also plays a critical advocacy role, working to secure sustainable funding, modernize public health infrastructure, and support the workforce that keeps communities safe.

The TACCHO Conference Message
Each year, the TACCHO Public Health Conference serves as a hub for collaboration and innovation. Public health directors, educators, researchers, and partner organizations gather to exchange insights, discuss emerging challenges, and strengthen the systems that protect Texas communities.
The 2026 conference in Austin continues that tradition, offering a space where local health departments can learn from one another, explore new tools and technologies, and build partnerships that enhance their ability to serve the public. EduClasses is honored to be part of that conversation.
The annual TACCHO Public Health Conference brings together hundreds of public health leaders and educators to:
- Strengthen collaboration across Texas
- Share research, data, and community health strategies
- Build partnerships between health departments, academic institutions, and community organizations
This year’s conference on April 8 - 10, 2026 in Austin continues that mission.
How EduClasses Supports TACCHO Members
EduClasses provides online training solutions that directly support the workforce and compliance needs of local health departments. Through platforms such as FoodHandlerClasses.com, FoodManagersCertification.com, SellerServerClasses.com and others we help ensure that workers across Texas receive accessible, accredited training that meets state and local requirements.
Our courses play an important role in strengthening community health. Food safety training helps reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Responsible alcohol service education supports safer communities. Cannabis and cosmetology safety courses reinforce sanitation and regulatory compliance. Because our programs are mobile‑friendly, multilingual, and available statewide, they help local health departments reach diverse populations efficiently and consistently.
EduClasses also supports public health infrastructure by offering scalable training options for large agencies and employer tools that simplify certification tracking. This helps departments maintain compliance, streamline operations, and deliver standardized education across jurisdictions an important part of TACCHO’s broader goal of modernizing public health systems.

We’re excited to share how our training platforms can support their workforce, reduce administrative burdens, and help build healthier communities.

We look forward to contributing to the conversation on how education, compliance, and accessible online training can strengthen public health across the state.
