Program
Are you an idea person? Do you like teaching, creating programs that are thoughtful and innovative. This committee is responsible for generating the APHA Conference program. This next year is the Health Administration 100 Year Anniversary – so this program will be shaped in part by that exciting opportunity. The Theme for next year’s conference is “Public Health Without Boarders”. Can you think of a more pertinent topic for Health Administrators? Many of us work across local, state and international boarders – if this sounds like something you would like to help shape – this is the committee for you!
