We are starting up a Facebook page for the Section where we will actively discuss issues related to community health workers.  Please look for us on Facebook and join the conversation!

Leadership Opportunities

Please know that we are always interested in having more leaders join us in guiding and building the CHW Section. Be in touch at any time with our Nominations Co-Chair Lee Rosenthal at elrosenthal@utep.edu.  We finalize nominations in the early spring 2012.

We need your ideas and participation in Planning for CHW Section Awards

The CHW Section is getting ready to explore the development of an Awards program to thank CHWs and others for their leadership in the field.  Be a part of the conversation by joining "the potential CHW AWARDS Committee"-- we will set up a call sometime in late August or early September once we know who is on board.

We will:

* Discuss criteria for CHW Section Awards that recognize the contributions of CHWs and others in different settings and across the country and internationally;

* Share tasks in order to complete a draft for discussion and revisions at the APHA CHW Section meeting in Washington, D.C.;

* Finalize Award criteria in order to announce it with the 2012 APHA CHW Section Call for Abstracts;

* Discuss strategies to disseminate, solicit nominations, and select Award Nominees for the 2012 APHA CHW Section meeting; and

* Discuss logistics of hosting Award ceremonies at the 2012 APHA CHW Section meeting.

If you cannot join the Committee, still feel free to send us input about the process; please send by mid-August 2011 to Lee Rosenthal, CHW Section Nominations Committee Co-Chair, at elrosenthal@utep.edu or Sara Torres at storr046@uottawa.ca.
