Because we did not have a chance to report back previously, and in case you had not heard, here are the results of the APHA elections:

President Elect - Linda Rae Murray

Executive Board - Drew Harris, Adewole Troutman and Beth Benedict

All policy statements were accepted as part of the consent calendar following the hearings — many thanks to Larry Cook, Doug Wiebe and Fred Von Recklinghausen for attending the hearings — our recommendations for changes to policy statements were all considered and most were taken.  There were two late-breaker policy statements submitted; one opposing the Stupak amendment prohibiting health care coverage of abortion that was passed, and one requiring mandatory flu vaccine for health workers that did not pass.
