Mark your calendar for the most phenomenal OHS Sect
ion Awards Luncheon ever! This year's Awards Luncheon will take place at the Washington Convention Center on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at noon. We will celebrate the accomplishments of our colleagues and savor the entertainment provided by the one and only Dooley's Thespians.
For the first time in many years, the Section is coordinating the event through APHA, which means tickets MUST be purchased IN ADVANCE through the REGISTRATION system. (If you received your Advanced Program brochure, turn to page 28, and look at STEP 9 "Ticketed Luncheons." Item #3, Occupational Health Box Lunch, is the line item to select to purchase a ticket for the OHS Section Luncheon.) When you register for the conference online, you will come to a screen that gives you the option of purchasing tickets for all kinds of meal events. Make sure you select the "Occupational Health BOX LUNCH" option (you can't miss it because BOX LUNCH is capitalized.) When you receive your official name badge for the Annual Meeting, you will also receive your ticket for the OHS Section Awards Luncheon.
A limited number of tickets will be sold by APHA on Sunday, but no tickets for the lunch will be sold on Monday or Tuesday. Plan ahead and buy your ticket when you register.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at eohcnm@gwumc.edu or (202) 994-0774.
Register EARLY for the annual meeting and SAVE money. The early-bird registration fee is $360 for those who register by August 23. Those who register after that date will be charged $415 (before Oct. 1) and $475 (after Oct. 1).
