With the inaugural New Members Orientation breakfast meeting at the APHA 2004 Annual Meeting, the Membership Committee started this year off with a bang and will continue forward to make it one of the best ever. Some of the things we hope to accomplish include, but are not limited to: (1) developing a secondary membership list, to keep our secondary members informed; (2) establishing a listserv for dynamic informational purposes; (3) refining New Members Orientation for the 2005 APHA Annual Meeting; and, (4) conducting a membership survey (NOTE: will be summer 2005).

We have met with APHA staff to discuss our activities, conducted several Membership Committee meetings in person and/or by conference call, refined our letters to new and lapsed members, and developed a new letter for secondary members.

We welcome Environment Section members to join us in undertaking any or all of our activities. Please contact us at <des0@cdc.gov> (Dorothy Stephens) and <Stone.Susan@epamail.epa.gov> (Susan Stone). We look forward to having you join us.
