Update from AOHC Public Affairs Committee

The normal Public Affairs Committee meeting falls on Good Friday in April; therefore, the meeting date has been moved from April 14 to April 20 at 9 am. Beth will be sending out more information as the meeting gets closer.

Ron Graham, chair, is organizing subcommittees to update the AOHC  2013 Public Health Platform Final 1 13.  This document is intended to articulate important policy positions of AOHC over time, whereas the priorities document sets forth a shorter term agenda for the current legislative biennium.  The following committee members have agreed to serve as chairs:

  • Infectious Disease Protection and Emergency Response – Leann Cline
  • Foundational Public Health Services – Joe Mazzola   
  • Adequate Resources for Local Public Health – Melissa Branum
  • Environmental Health- Duane Stansbury

Would you like to assist in this work?  It involves a relatively short time commitment - 1-2 conference calls per month with the goal of having an initial draft by Spring Conference and a final draft for member approval at the Fall Conference.  Email Ron or Beth, and tell us which subcommittee interests you!
