Deadline is TODAY, June 10, 2011
Nominations for Section Awards are now closing.
In particular, the three major Awards include the Section’s Distinguished Service Award (DSA), the Damu Smith Environmental Achievement Award, and the presenter for the annual Homer N. Calver Lecture, our flagship event during the APHA Annual Meeting.
The DSA is presented to someone who has exhibited outstanding service to the Section, the field of Environment Health, and APHA. There are many deserving members of our organization, so please submit their names accompanied with a short letter of support.
We are accepting suggestions for the D. Smith Achievement Award winner -- an environmental health worker who has contributed to the profession particularly in the areas of environmental quality improvement, environmental justice and quality of life.
The Calver Lecture is presented annually by a leader in environmental health, often from the geographic area where the APHA Annual Meeting is held (this year: Washington, D.C.). Although the presenter’s primary message is usually geared for late-breaking and new innovation in the field of environmental health, this year the lecture is expected to have a historical flavor in celebration of our Section’s 100th Anniversary recognition.
There is only about a week left -- so take a moment to get your nomination in !!
Please forward nominations to Leon Vinci, Awards Committee Chair, at the following address : lfv6@aol.com.
