Much of the work of our Gerontological Health Section (GHS) is carried out through committees, staffed with volunteers with a passion about health and aging, who are willing to put that to work for our Section and APHA. We are looking for volunteers to fill the following positions:

· Editor elect of the GHS Newsletter, to work with Steve Albert, editor, on periodic GHS newsletters this year, then to become editor in November 2008.

· Student liaison(s), to represent GHS in the APHA Student Assembly and to work with GHS in meeting the interests and needs of our student members.

· Members for the Membership Committee, to work with R. Turner Goins, chair, to organize member recruitment, retention, and diversity activities.

· Members for the Web site/listserv Committee, to work with Steve Wallace in designing and maintaining the GHS Web site and related listserv activities.

Please free to contact me if you’d like additional information about any of the activities or general GHS activities for this coming year. You can e-mail (nanmille@umbc.edu) or call me (410-455-3889).

Thank you in advance for your interest.

Nancy Miller, Chair, GHS
