On behalf of the other members of the Nominating Committee, Diana Conti and Frances Stillman, and myself, I am very pleased to extend our thanks to our colleagues who agreed to run for leadership positions for the 2003 election. The results of the 2003 election will be available prior to the APHA Annual Meeting in San Francisco.

Candidates for 2004 Election

The deadline for collecting candidates' names and pertinent information comes very early in the new year.

In 2004 the Nominations Committee will be seeking names for six positions:



  • Section Council — two positions

  • Governing Council – two positions

  • ATOD Section Secretary – one position

  • Chair-elect — one position




Therefore we are looking for 12 candidates – two names for each position.

If you wish to run or would like to suggest the name of a colleague, please call me early and often. My contact information is provided below. Thank you for your interest in participating in ATOD leadership activities.
