Section Chairs

Section Chairs provide leadership within their respective public health focus areas and serve as a connection between members and the Association’s governance. Each Section Chair represents their section on the Board of Directors, bringing forward member perspectives, priorities, and expertise. Through collaboration and advocacy, Section Chairs help shape programming, initiatives, and professional engagement opportunities that support MPHA’s diverse public health community.
