Help our Environment Section and APHA grow! The Environment Section is over 900 members strong. That’s a lot of people power!

In this newsletter, on Facebook, and on the Environment Section Web site, you can learn what your environment section colleagues are doing to protect the environment and public health, and you can join in on their efforts.

APHA has announced two important membership initiatives for 2010, and the Section’s Membership Committee will be supporting that effort. We have several tasks, both small and more involved, that will help us grow our section. We would love your help! Just send Barbara Glenn, the committee’s chair, an e-mail at glenn.barbara1@gmail.com. Let us know how the Section can better support you both during the annual meeting and in-between.

Why not 1,000 members? This year, ask your colleagues working with you on key environmental health goals to join APHA and add the Environment Section as an additional section. Encourage everyone to renew their membership if they already are part of the APHA family.
