NEHA 2009 AEC & Exhibition: Atlanta, Georgia

NEHA brought its 73rd Annual Educational Conference & Exhibition to Atlanta, Georgia, this past June. What an event it was!

Judging by the high marks that were given by conference attendees on their evaluations, this AEC & Exhibition proved to be yet another stimulating and rich experience for the 1,000-plus people who attended it.

This year's conference was particularly noteworthy given the special relationship that NEHA enjoys with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In fact, one of the major reasons that NEHA brought its conference to Atlanta was so that NEHA could incorporate many CDC features into the event, including tours of CDC's campuses and visits with CDC officials. NEHA deeply thanks the CDC for its support and involvement.

NEHA will return to Atlanta later this year (in October) as a co-sponsor of the hugely important CDC NCEH/ATSDR National Public Health Conference. NEHA encourages its membership to seriously consider attending this event as well, as it will further enhance the continuing education experience that environmental health practitioners need to have. Highlights from this year's conference are summarized as follows.
