Marice Ashe is the Founder of ChangeLab Solutions where she served as CEO for nearly 25 years. At ChangeLab Solutions, she pioneered the use of law and policy to solve complex problems related to institutionalized inequities and poor community health outcomes. Leading a staff of 60 lawyers and other public health experts and working in all 50 states, she drove major health equity successes across a broad range of public health challenges. Under her direction, ChangeLab Solutions consulted with leadership from every level of government, health system and community health practice, and created a vast library of “how to” guides and model policies (found at www.changelabsolutions.org) that promote multi-disciplinary partnerships to empower leaders, improve outcomes and save money. Marice is currently a public health law and policy consultant and teaches Public Health Law at the University of California, Berkeley Law. She serves on the national advisory boards for the Center for the Redress of Inequity ThroughCommunity-Engaged Scholarship at the University of Virginia and the Institute for Health Policy and Leadership at Loma Linda University. Marice consults with public health leaders throughout the world. She is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, and received her advanced degrees in public health and law from the University of California at Berkeley.

Elsie is most passionate about using the law as a tool for health systems strengthening to bridge the health equity gap globally. She is also an Adjunct Assistant Lecturer at Accra College of Medicine in Ghana where she teaches Medical Law and Ethics and Global Public Health Law to medical students. Mrs Hayford is the founder of Lamèsè, a global health consulting firm committed to restoring dignity, accountability and tackling injustices in health systems through the use of legal, public health and change management tools. Since the inception of the pandemic, her work has been focused on legal protections for health workers and the legal frameworks that support emergency healthcare delivery globally as a consultant with Vital Strategies, New York. She holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Liverpool, an Executive Certificate in NGO Management from the Africa Centre for Capacity Building and a Master of Laws with distinction in Global Health Law from Georgetown University in Washington DC, USA where she was also a Global Health Law Scholar and a recipient of the Dean's Award and the CALI Excellence for the Future Award.
