Dr. Bittle addressed the need to replace Governing Council seat. Ms. Gaufin is on the Executive Board, and we need to appoint someone to fill her seat for 2011. Please send suggestions to Dr. Bittle or Ms. Sampson. Whoever is appointed should consider running for Governing Council next year, also, as the appointment ends in November.

On behalf of our Section leadership, I wish to thank all those whose time and effort go to the support of APHA and especially the Health Administration Section. This support comes in many forms. One simple way to support our section is to make a small contribution to the Health Administration’s Enrichment Fund. This fund is managed by the section and is available for section use. Our commitment is to use these funds to support student member participation and recognition. The process is simple, go to the following link http://secure.apha.org/scriptcontent/custom/gift/donationform_campaign.cfm?campaign=everymember  indicate the amount you would like to donate, in the Section “How would you like your donation allocated” and select “Section” and select “Health Administration – Every Mbr Campaign.” You can pay online. 

Special thanks go to Dr. Linda Young Landesman for taking the time to share with us her volunteer support over the years. The Health Administration Section appreciates all the work she has done and the time she took this past week to give us an interview. Thank you, everyone, for all that you do in support of APHA and the Health Administration Section.
