With the inaugural New Members Orientation breakfast meeting at the 2004 APHA 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 the New Members Orientation for the 2005 APHA Annual Meeting; and, (4) exploring the possibility of conducting a membership survey.

To this end, we have already met with APHA to discuss our activities, scheduled our first membership committee meeting, have 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.
