This year offers another not-to-miss-opportunity on Monday evening at the APHA Annual Meeting. The Environment Section’s Annual Awards Ceremony will feature a social hour along with the presentation of our Section’s prestigious awards. Other recognitions will be given that evening as well.

In addition to the Distinguished Service Award, presented annually to an outstanding environmental health leader that has assisted our section and the profession, several other honors will be awarded. Environmental health students from across the country will be recognized for their achievements and competition at this evening’s special event.

Student finalists this year are: Melissa Slotnick, Jon Hofmann, Lauren Zajac, Maria Maribelli, Mary Elizabeth O’Meil, Brettania Walker, Jennifer Roberts, Ginger Guidry, Kim Knowlton, and Holly Wethington.

Of note, as we conclude this year’s Calver celebration, the Environment Section’s long-time friend and sponsor, the Foodservice & Packaging Institute, Inc., will be credited for their 35 years of support and dedication to the Calver Award program.

Environment Section Chairperson Nsedu Witherspoon will also be making presentations to other members of the APHA community that evening.

Plan to attend & celebrate your Section’s Achievements !!
