Public Health Education and Health Promotion Section
The Public Health Education and Health Promotion section is one of 25 primary sections and special interest groups within the American Public Health Association (APHA). In fact, PHEHP, with around 4,000 members, is the largest section of the largest Public Health association worldwide. Like all sections within APHA, PHEHP is governed by a group of elected volunteers who hold offices for terms of varying length. Section officers include a chair, chair-elect, secretary, secretary-elect and immediate past chair. In addition, section councilors and governing councilors represent the members and concerns of the section within the larger organization. Section committees, lead by volunteers from the Section, are where much of the "work" of the Section is accomplished. Explore the APHA website and PHEHP section's webpage and newsletter to learn about these and other opportunities to get involved in PHEHP
