It is my pleasure to be serving as the new secretary and E-News editor for the Environment Section.  If there are ideas you would like to share for improving communication within the Section or between our Section and APHA, please contact me.  Exciting new features have arrived in the APHA communications system, including the E-communities listserv, the E-communicate news blast, and the new APHA Web site and Section home page.  We can tailor the look of our homepages, so please send ideas for what photos or pictures you would like to see representing the Environment Section.

We want to hear what you or your organization are working on, or interesting news or opportunities that you know of.  Please send ideas for contributions to the APHA Environment Section e-newsletter to Andrea.Wismann@uchsc.edu.  Dates for 2007 E-newsletter submission are May 15 and August 15.  The submission deadlines will also be publicized through the APHA monthly e-newsletters for the two months prior to deadline.  A final notice is then sent to the Section’s primary members about a week in advance of the deadline by APHA at our request.
