Newsletter and Web

Committee Chair: Bud Nicola, MD, MHSA, FACPM, bnicola@u.washington.edu
Policy Development
If you like policy -- creating it, analyzing it, critiquing it -- this is the committee for you. APHA as an organization is responsible for public health policy at many different levels, from designing resolutions that describe the organization's stance on issues, to engaging members as activists to support public health legislation. If you like politics, policy and public health, this is the place for you!
Committee Chair: Marcia Levy Rosenstein, MPH, MPA, Marcia.Rosenstein@cdph.ca.gov.
Program
Are you an idea person? Do you like teaching, creating programs that are thoughtful and innovative. This committee is responsible for generating the APHA Annual Meeting program. This next year is the Health Administration Section's 100 Year Anniversary – so this program will be shaped in part by that exciting opportunity. The theme for next year’s conference is “Public Health Without Boarders.” Can you think of a more pertinent topic for health administrators? Many of us work across local, state and international boarders – if this sounds like something you would like to help shape, this is the committee for you!
Committee Chair: Gretchen Sampson, RN MPH, gretchens@co.polk.wi.us
100 Year Anniversary
Yes, it’s a celebration! But it’s also a walk throughout history. If you are a history buff, this might be the place for you. If you like to design special events, this might be the place for you. If you like history and special events, this is most certainly the place for you!
Committee Chair: Vonna J Henry, RN BSN MPH, vonna.henry@co.sherburne.mn.us
Awards
If you want to have a say in who should be recognized as leaders in the field of health administration, this is the committee that works to identify, nominate and present awards to deserving people. Please contact Joyce Gaufin if you are interested in this committee: jgaufin@healthinsight.org
Minority Access
If you are passionate about issues of equity and access, this committee is responsible at many levels to assure that the Health Administration Section is addressing topics including health disparities, equal access to health care, access to education and professional opportunities. This very important issue needs creative and passionate people to identify specific steps APHA and Health Administration can take to address these issues of social justice.

Fundraising Letter Sent to all members May 16, 2008
Dear Health Administration Section Member,
The Health Administration Section of APHA is celebrating its 100 Year Anniversary. You are receiving this letter because you are, or have been, a member of the Health Administration Section. This is an exciting year. We are recognizing the 100 year anniversary of the Health Administration Section.
As chair of the Section, I am inviting you to contribute to our 100 Year Anniversary Fund. The fund will be used to pay for a variety of things related to the Anniversary. Initially, I would like to support the students who have contributed their time to interview leaders from the Section who have played a large part in our history. In addition, we would like to create a Centennial book, and perhaps create a living history using videography. All of these things cost money, and while I appreciate the economic times we are facing, I am still requesting your support for this one-time event.
To show my commitment, I will match the first $500 the section raises.
If you are willing to contribute to the 100 Year Anniversary Fund, please complete the following and submit it according the instructions below. You can choose to be recognized for your commitment on the form. You will receive a confirmation of your donation that allows you to use it as a tax deduction as well.
Thank you for considering this opportunity and supporting the history and the future of health administration!
With sincere thanks,
Tricia Todd
