Call for Awards
We are seeking input from all CPHA members on nominations for our annual CPHA awards, which will be presented at our annual meeting on October 22. We are particularly pleased to be giving the first Charles Huntington III Award in memory of our beloved past president, who died unexpectantly in December, 2009. Charles worked tirelessly on behalf of CPHA and public health in general, and we miss him as both a friend and colleague.
Please fill out the form below and return it to Joan Segal at segal@nso.uchc.edu with supporting documentation by September 15. Award descriptions and submission directions are included on the form.

CPHA and the Literacy Volunteers of Greater Hartford
Thanks to funding from the Aetna Foundation, CPHA has partnered with the Literacy Volunteers of Greater Hartford and the Literacy Volunteers of Central Connecticut to raise the health literacy of their students. This picture, taken at a Green Cleaning Workshop in Hartford, taught 21 literacy students how to use non-toxic cleaners in their homes. Mary Sherwin and Nan Peckham from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection facilitated this workshop to help students understand the role that healthy homes play in their health and the health of their families.
CPHA is the American Public Health Association's 2009 Outstanding Affiliate of the Year!
On November 7, 2009, CPHA was awarded APHA's 2009 Outstanding Affiliate of the Year Award. Congratulations to our Board of Directors and all of our members who made this possible. Let's keep working hard and make this just the first of many awards for CPHA.
