Dear APHA Member:

APHA kiced off its 2004 Policy Development and Review Process in January. We have provided you with a link to information about how you can become more involved in policymaking at the Association. This information covers both the policy development process as well as the recently adopted policy review process that was created to identify outdated APHA policy for archiving and also to identify gaps in APHA policy. We strongly encourage you to work with the leadership of your Section, Affiliate or SPIG to get engaged in this important process.

Keep in mind this year that February 13 is the date proposed new policies are due.
Please visit the APHA Web site at <http://www.apha.org/private/ppolicy.htm> to view this year ICEHS’ policy development guidelines which contains a calendar of important dates and deadlines for each step of the policy development and review process. You will need your username and password for the ICEHS Members Only section of the APHA website to view this information. If you have any questions, please email us at <policy@apha.org>.
