Maintaining their dynamic start, the Membership Committee designed and field tested a membership recruitment and retention survey; explored the possibility of establishing a listserv, periodically sent welcoming letters to new members and to lapsed members, and, as a way to maintain contact with our secondary members, developed and sent out an Environment Section update including a Microsoft Word version of the e-newsletter as supplied by the Editors.

APHA staff has shown its support of the Environment Section, at every step of the way, by providing staff time and computer expertise to ensure the success of several of these endeavors.

Environment Section members are welcome 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.
