Nominations for the 2020 - 2021 MPHA Governing Council 

Nomination Period: January 14 - February 1, 2021

Dear Minnesota Public Health Association Colleagues:

The Minnesota Public Health Association’s (MPHA) Leadership Committee announces the call for nominations for MPHA’s 2021 elected offices on Governing Council. Members of the Governing Council are constant ambassadors and proponents of MPHA.  They ensure that the mission and vision of the organization moves forward through leadership and service.

This is a very exciting time, and we need you to become involved to make the nomination process successful. Please consider nominating a colleague or yourself to serve in an MPHA office.  If you have an interest in being more active in MPHA and in public health, this is a great way to become involved. We want our Governing Council to be representative of the finest leaders in public health, and we need your input to make that happen!

This year the Leadership Committee is soliciting nominations for

• President-elect (3- year commitment)
• Treasurer (1-year commitment to complete previous term commitment)
• Secretary (2-year commitment)
• Affiliate Representative to APHA (3-year commitment)

• Three (3) Members-at-large statewide (2-year commitment)

For information about the positions and current members, please email Cherylee Sherry or Ann Zukoski at leadership@mpha.net or visit the MPHA website at http://www.mpha.net/page-1242672 .

Eligibility:

MPHA Governing Council is made up of six elected officers, six elected at‑large members and one member from each of the four standing committees.  Any individual member, student/retired or sustaining member may hold office or serve as a member of the Governing Council.  You may self-nominate or nominate a colleague. If you are nominating a colleague, please ask for their permission before submitting a nomination. Also, we would ask that you review the Governing Council position responsibilities and return a completed nominating form before the February 1, 2021 deadline. The nomination form can be found on the MPHA website at www.mpha.net

Again, nominations for the MPHA ballot must be received no later than February 1, 2021.  Please submit the nomination electronically to leadership@mpha.net.

Thank you in advance for taking an active role in this year’s nomination process. Should you have any questions about the process or need more information about the requirements, please contact Cherylee Sherry or Ann Zukoski. We look forward to hearing from you—and we hope you will use this opportunity to make your voice heard.

Cherylee Sherry, MPHA Leadership Committee & Ann Zukoski, MPHA Leadership Committee
