Please join us for the Annual General Meeting of the Alberta Public Health Association (APHA) on March 28, 2024 at 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm. This year, the APHA AGM will be held online with details to follow.

Public health in Alberta is facing many challenges including a lack of capacity, limited resources, health services reorganization, and a divisive public health policy environment. A strong public health voice matters more than ever in these difficult times. As an independent non-profit organization that transcends professional roles and sectors, the APHA plays an essential role in championing, protecting, and supporting public health in Alberta. However, the challenges faced by public health have impacted the essential role that APHA plays. Please join us to discuss efforts to revitalize the APHA and strengthen the voice of public health in Alberta.

To support APHA revitalization efforts, the APHA is seeking potential board members for all positions. Further details regarding available board positions and the nomination process can be viewed here. Deadline to submit nominations for election is end-of-day March 20, 2024.

Voting requires an APHA membership. To become a direct member please complete the APHA membership form or become a conjoint APHA-CPHA member.

For more information, please contact APHA President Angeline Webb at awebb@ualberta.ca
