Title: President-elect Candidate from ICEHS Section – Linda C. Degutis, DrPH, MSN

Author:

Section/SPIG: Injury Control and Emergency Health Services

Issue Date:

---

As you may know, I am running for President-elect of APHA. This is the first time that someone from the ICEHS Section has run for this office. I have been an active member of the Section since 1984, and in addition to serving as Chair, served as Program Chair for 2 years, Policy Committee Co-Chair for several years, and Newsletter co-editor back in the days when we were a SPIG. In addition, I have served on the APHA Executive Board for the past 4 years, and have chaired the Board for the last 2. My background has allowed me opportunities to be involved in a broad range of public health issues in addition to injury, and I have experience in various realms of public health including practice, research, education and policy. While APHA members do not directly elect officers and Executive Board members, you can help with my campaign. If you know anyone from another Section, SPIG or Affiliate who will vote (a member of the Governing Council), or who is in a leadership position in their group, please let them know about my candidacy. If you need more information, please contact me at Linda.degutis@yale.edu. Thanks for your help!!!!
