NEHA to co-sponsor National Public Health Week

The National Environmental Health Association leadership voted and agreed to pursue collaborative efforts with the Environment Section of APHA.  NEHA also plans to sign on as a co-sponsor of National Public Health Week for 2008.  The main foci of the collaboration are to encourage students to enter the environmental health field, and for professionals to seek continuing education by attending and presenting at both of our annual conferences as well as contributing to newsletters, journals, conference calls, etc.
