Call for Awards Nominations

Nominations for Section awards are now open -- in particular, the Section's Distinguished Service Award and the presenter for the annual Homer N. Calver Lecture.

The Distinguished Service Award is presented to someone who has exhibited outstanding service to the Section, the field of environmental health and APHA. There are many deserving members of our organization who are eligible, so please submit their names accompanied by a short letter of support.

The Calver Lecture is presented annually by someone from the area where the APHA Annual Meeting is held (this year: Washington, D.C.). The presenter's primary message often is geared toward late-breaking and new innovation in the field of environmental health. Topics also can include a top governmental leader (CDC, etc.), political figure or someone giving an historical perspective on where the environmental heath field has been, and where it is going today.

Our Section continues to have a distinguished list of past award winners.

Please forward nominations to Awards Committee Chair Leon Vinci at lfv6@aol.com.
