Now Accepting Nominations for GPHA Awards


Preparations are under way for the 88th Georgia Public Health Association Annual Meeting and Conference scheduled to take place on April 11-12, 2017 in Atlanta. One of the highlights of the gathering is the announcement of public health employees and advocates who have been chosen as GPHA award recipients.

The GPHA Awards Committee, made up of representatives from public health districts and organizations around the state, is now soliciting nominations for all awards, including the distinguished Sellers-McCroan Award, which is presented at a separate event during the conference.

Nomination forms for all of the awards can be downloaded below. Please take the time to read through the criteria and consider taking this wonderful opportunity to broadly recognize staff, partners, and advocates for excellence in public health. The Sellers-McCroan Award particularly recognizes an individual or group whose work has had significant impact on epidemiology and/or laboratory services at the state, district or county levels; in academia; or in hospitals.

All nominations must be completed on the form provided and submitted as an attachment electronically. The deadline for submission for all awards is Thursday, December 1, 5:00pm.
