Awards

field of public health and the environment are made by KPHA at the

to public health in particular. Any member may submit nominations
for any or all of the awards. Unless specifically stated, awardees
need not be members of KPHA.
The Awards Committee is charged with management
of the awards process and has specific functions as outlined in
the organizational bylaws:
- solicit and review nominees for designated KPHA
awards;
- recommend individuals to the Board of Directors
for the designated awards based on the policies, procedures and
in accordance with the bylaws;
- establish and assist with the proceedings for presenting
the awards at the annual meeting; and
