2011 Call for APHA Leadership Positions
APHA has announced the full list of open positions for the APHA-wide boards and committees. We very much encourage Community Health Planning and Policy Development Section members to consider running for one of these APHA leadership positions, especially current and former officers of the CHPPD Section.
These positions offer the opportunity to actively participate in the governance of APHA and serve on behalf of the CHPPD Section to promote and advance community health planning and policy development as essential elements of public health within APHA and beyond. Positions are filled on a voluntary basis. Self-nominations are accepted and encouraged. All terms will begin at the conclusion of this year’s APHA Annual Meeting in November 2011.
If you are interested and considering any of the APHA leadership positions, the CHPPD Section would be pleased to work with you or contact potential nominees you recommend to discuss further the potential APHA leadership opportunities. We would also be pleased to discuss with you the process to complete the APHA Leadership Appointment Recommendation Form, the reference letter from the CHPPD Section, and the brief bio-sketch to be submitted as part of the submission process. Please contact Winston Tseng at wtseng@pacbell.net with the CHPPD Nominations Committee for APHA Leadership Positions at your earliest convenience to begin the process of submission.
The CHPPD Section is also looking for a co-chair to work with Winston Tseng on the Nominations Committee for APHA Leadership Positions. Please let Winston Tseng know at your earliest convenience if you might be interested in serving on the CHPPD Nominations Committee for APHA Leadership Positions.
