It is election time again...APHA MCH Section elections, that is!
From our strong membership base, the nominating committee seeks a number of candidates for key leadership positions this year. There are four Governing Council and two Section Council positions opening up; in addition, our Chair-elect and Secretary-elect positions are open for nominees. Each of these positions provides an opportunity to advance the field of MCH and promote the health of women and children in unique ways within the section and APHA. More than ever, in these challenging historical times, APHA needs the active participation of its members in order to remain an effective voice for the health of populations in our country and globally. The MCH section has an established leadership record within APHA, and as one of the largest sections we have been influential and instrumental on a number of strategic issues over time.
We invite you to share your energy and talents.We welcome your passion and vision! Nominate yourself or nominate a friend or colleague. Subcommittee chairs, can you identify untapped energy and talent on your committees? The Nominating Committee is committed to organizing a robust slate for the section this year and looks forward to your input and recommendations
