Each year, IH Section members have the opportunity to choose fellow Section members to serve in IH leadership positions, helping to represent IH Section interests on the APHA-wide Governing Council, develop policy resolutions, and coordinate efforts with other APHA sections and interest groups. This year, the Section will elect a new chair-elect as well as a secretary-elect. In addition, two positions are open on the IH Section Council, and four positions are open as IH Section Governing Councilors. Section Councilors serve a three-year term, supporting the internal operations of the IH Section and providing direction and leadership for its initiatives. They help set goals and priorities for the section and assist with the development of the annual meeting program. Governing Councilors serve a two-year term and are elected by the IH Section to represent our interests at the level of APHA governance. Governing Councilors vote on behalf of the Section on policy resolutions and other issues that come before the Governing Council during the APHA Annual Meeting.
