Committee on Affiliates


Affiliate Poster Proposal

The Committee on Affiliates (CoA) is the representative body of APHA that represents 53 affiliates: one for each state, one for Washington, DC and two in California and New York. All affiliates are also represented on the APHA Governing Council. As it has done for several years now, the CoA is inviting affiliates to propose poster abstracts for acceptance and exhibition at the 2008 APHA annual meeting in San Diego, CA (October 25-29). This year's conference theme is Public Health Without Borders. Poster proposals can be on any public health-related topic and should represent a project sponsored by your affiliate or any of your affiliate members (individuals or groups).

The deadline for submitting poster abstracts is June 15, 2008. Authors will be contacted in late July-early August about poster abstract selection for exhibition. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Kaitlin Sheedy at (202) 777-2432 or kaitlin.sheedy@apha.org.


Student Poster Contest

The Committee on Affiliates (CoA) is the representative body of APHA that represents 53 affiliates: one for each state, one for Washington, DC and two in California and New York. All affiliates are also represented on the APHA Governing Council. The CoA is sponsoring a student poster contest for students currently enrolled in public heath-related classes and schools. Students are encouraged to submit proposals for work they have either completed or are in process of completing and showing promising results. Student posters accepted for exhibition at the annual meeting will be judged by a sub-committee of the CoA, and the winning student author(s) will win a $100 cash prize—an author must be present at the poster session to receive the award.

The deadline for submitting student poster abstracts is June 15, 2008. Authors will be contacted in late July-early August about poster abstracts selection for exhibition. For more information contact Mariza Hardin, Student Assembly Representative to the CoA at mirlun5@gmail.com.
