Sent on behalf of our IH Section Chair, Dr. Padmini Murthy
Dear friends and colleagues,
I hope you are doing fine and it’s unbelievable that this is our 2nd annual meeting after the onset of the COVID pandemic – one of the most challenging and devastating public health crises of our times. This year the annual meeting is a hybrid one and I look forward to interacting with you at our IH Section Business Meeting on Sunday, October 24th from 8:30 am – 9:15 am MST followed by the Open House. All members are welcome to attend the Business Meeting even if you aren’t registered for the meeting. For the Zoom link, check your APHA IH section list-serv email or log-in to our list-serv email at http://connect.apha.org/welcome.htm
Even though these events are virtual, this provides us an opportunity to connect with each other. We have our IH Networking awards and reception virtually as well on Monday, October 25th from 6 pm – 7:30 pm MST. Please attend the reception and network with your peers and congratulate the section award winners.

Our program chairs Theresa Majeski and Samer Jabbour have organized an excellent and robust scientific program and I strongly encourage you to attend as many programs as possible.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation and thanks to the chairs / co-chairs of the IH committees and working groups, the governing councilors, section councilors, past president, chair elect, secretary, (both incoming and outgoing), Vina Hulamm – APHA’s global health manger and the IH section liaison, our treasurer and the section historian for their dedication and commitment to the IH section and APHA.
I would like to congratulate all the newly elected section and governing councilors and look forward to working with you all.
Finally, kudos to all the IH members who have been working in their communities in the US and globally who have contributed to the COVID-19 response and relief work with commitment and dedication. The section leadership and members have also been at the forefront in bringing to the attention of the APHA leadership the various ongoing global public health crises.
Thank you for your great work and look forward to working with you in the year to come!
In Health, Human Rights and Peace
Padmini Murthy MD, MPH
