"Helping to improve the health of people through education"
Meghan Shewmake was elected to serve a one year term on the SOPHE Board of Trustees.
Congratulations to two Delta SOPHE members who received awards during the 2018 SOPHE Annual Conference in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. David Birch received the Distinguished Fellow Award, which is the highest honor awarded to a SOPHE member. Dr. Mary Shaw received the SOPHE Trophy, which is an award presented by the SOPHE President to the SOPHE member she/he judges to have contributed most to the success of her/his administration.
FYI the call for abstracts for the SOPHE 2020 conference, which will be held in Atlanta, Georga March 17-20 is expected to be released this month! So if any of you are interested in collaborating on a GH CoP roundtable start thinking about what you'd like to present on now. Our group roundtables have been well received in the past and it has been a fun collaboration for our group members. Even if you want to submit, but are unable to attend, another group member who is going can pair with you to cover the presentation on your behalf.
