OPHA SECTIONS AND CAUCUSES

Ten or more OPHA members may petition the OPHA Board to form a Section to address a particular field or area of public health or to form a Caucus around a particular public health issue. Following board approval, Sections and Caucuses must elect officers, develop bylaws and hold at least one business meeting scheduled during the OPHA Annual Conference.  The chairperson of each Section and Caucus, is a voting member of the OPHA Board of Directors. 

Listed below are the current OPHA Sections and Caucus.  All members are urged to select a section or caucus that fits their area of work or interest and to participate in the selected section and caucus activities.
