SAGE FROM THE GEHA PRESIDENT
by Kathy Worthington
The goal of the Georgia Environmental Health Association (GEHA), is to promote,
support, train, and register individuals working in the environmental health fields
though out government, academia, industry and business. One of the important ways
we accomplish our goal is through the Annual Educational Conference.
In addition to the Annual Education Conference, GEHA will be hosting the 68th
Interstate Environmental Health Seminar this year. We have the opportunity to open
our hearts and our state to the other seven member states: Alabama, Kentucky,
Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. These states
have kindly contributed their best and brightest to provide us with educational
opportunities in the fields of food safety and environmental health. In addition, we
have the knowledge and expertise of our dedicated sponsors and exhibitors.
Let’s embrace the opportunity to meet someone new from another state, agency,
industry, or academia; build relationships; and form networks that will result in greater
success as we return to our everyday duties. When you return to your workplace
encourage your co-workers to become members of GEHA, and the National
Environmental Health Association (NEHA). Both are excellent organizations and bring
different items of interest to the table, yet complement each other.
All new Georgia employees with the Department of Public Health, Department of
Natural Resources, and the Department of Agriculture are now entitled to their first
year GEHA membership for free (please submit a membership application). Academia
and industry can still join for just $25. Students are encouraged to join, and
membership is just $10 per year. This year we have added the ability to register and
pay on-line using Pay pal. Next year will bring some more exciting changes as well.
Thank you to all the members, speakers, and sponsors whose hard work and
dedication make our conference possible each year.
We look forward to seeing you in Kentucky next year for the 69th annual
Environmental Health Interstate Seminar.
