Committees

With our mission to protect and promote the public's health throughout New York State, it is only through active member participation that we are able to achieve our goals.  At NYSPHA we have long-standing and emerging committees that  our members are actively involved with in an effort to drive our association's efforts.  Visit the pages below for a description of our committees.  We are continuously looking for additional NYSPHA members to join our committees, and so if you are a member of NYSPHA or are looking to join our organization and you take interest in one or more of these areas, please let us know!  We encourage you to contact the designated committee Chair(s) at any time if you're looking to explore the possibility of how you can get involved.
