From The Chair

As you have heard, our section’s name is now “Aging and Public Health.” At APHA’s Annual Meeting we will celebrate our name change and its better characterization of the broad interests of our members and of the Section’s focus on the intersection of aging and public health. Join us for cake and celebration Monday evening at the annual Awards Reception and Auction. Also, after Sunday’s business meeting join us for a networking dinner at a local restaurant (details forthcoming).

While I look forward to seeing colleagues at the Annual Meeting, I am very aware that many of you cannot join us in Colorado. For some of you, budget constraints have curtailed travel, while for others personal issues prohibit your attendance. In the coming year the Section leaders will be discussing ways we can offer networking and/or educational sessions not dependent on Annual Meeting attendance. If you have any ideas regarding this, let me know (susan_miller@brown.edu).         

Have a wonderful fall!
