CPHA ALSO HELD PUBLIC HEALTH DAY AT THE CAPITOL DURING NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH WEEK, WHERE MEMBERS LEARNED ABOUT POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND MET WITH LEGISLATORS. OTHER ORGANIZATION ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING OUR WORKFORCE AND ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE. THE PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY COMMITTEE, REPRESENTING VARIOUS SECTORS OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE, MET REGULARLY THROUGHOUT 2024 TO ENSURE TIMELY ENGAGEMENT ON PRIORITY POLICIES DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
