Anjali Truitt, MPH
Congratulations are in order, as we close another academic year.
The Annual Meeting is just a few short months away. This year’s theme “Social Justice: A Public Health Imperative” provides a great opportunity for the Disability Section to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Chair’s Forum on Sunday, Nov. 7, will kick-off this celebration, so if you have the opportunity to attend this year’s meeting, then be sure to arrive in time. In order to help connect new public health professionals to the field, the Disability Section will be host a mentoring event on Tuesday night, Nov. 9.
Students and new professionals/investigators should have received an annual e-survey, regarding how membership in the Disability Section can best serve your needs. If you did not receive a copy of the survey and would like to participate, please e-mail me (artruitt@uw.edu). The Disability Section welcomes your input.
Particularly for those of you who have recently changed e-mail addresses, you can update your electronic and mailing addresses online by going to the “Member Login” on the APHA homepage at www.apha.org.
Best wishes to those headed to new schools, new employers and new opportunities.
