The Homeopathy Action Alliance was conceived in 2002 at the NCH Annual Conference by Jean Hoagland, then NCH Board President. Previously ad-hoc summit meetings of various homeopathic organizations would meet to exchange ideas. Jean Hoagland, with other organization leaders, saw the need for representatives to regularly communicate and share information about the individual organizations, their programs and challenges, creating the HAA as a solution. It remains a collegial affiliation meeting of the major US national homeopathic organizations.
The free exchange of information in the HAA meetings allows the individual organizations to be aware of upcoming activities and to voluntarily collaborate, if desired, with other organizations on selected projects. During discussions, each organization is encouraged to explain, but also respectfully maintain, their own point of view.
Attendance is invited from U.S. based, national 501c3 organizations that have been in existence for at least 2 years and are focused on some aspect of homeopathy. Each recognized organization sends one representative to quarterly meetings.
NCH hosts, schedules, maintains the agenda, and facilitates the meetings three times a year via Zoom conference calls and once a year in person at the JAHC conference. HAA facilitator, Margery Stearns, CCH can be reached via email at [email protected].
