The Alaska Environmental Health Association (AEHA) is pleased to announce that the 2009 Annual Conference will be held August 5-7th in the Yukon Conference Room of the ANTHC-DEHE building at 1901 Bragaw Street in Anchorage.

Themed “Collaborations in Environmental Health,” the focus of this year’s conference will be on the much collaboration, between agencies, programs, communities, and individuals that make environmental health work in Alaska successful.  

Join us for presentations, networking opportunities, and group sessions each day.  The always popular evening social and awards ceremony will be a night full of food, fun, and friends.  This event will occur at the Peanut Farm (old side) on August 5 from 6-8 pm.
