APHA members who want to influence public health policy are invited to submit their proposed policy statements to the Association.

Each year, APHA adopts new statements that help inform its positions on legislative and regulatory public health issues. All of the statements — which address a wide range of public health issues — are authored by APHA members.

At APHA’s 2020 Annual Meeting and Expo, the Association’s Governing Council adopted 19 new policy statements, covering topics such as e-cigarettes, children’s vision care and the separation of immigrant families.

APHA members are encouraged to submit their proposals for 2021 statements through their respective member groups, such as their Section, Special Primary Interest Group, Student Assembly, Forum, Caucus or Affiliate. Before submitting policy statement proposals, authors should read APHA’s guidelines on the policy statement development process, available on the Association website. Authors are also directed to review the 2021 policy statement gap list, which is online now.

APHA’s Joint Policy Committee will consider each proposed policy statement. Following public hearings, the Association’s Governing Council will vote on the proposals at APHA’s 2021 Annual Meeting and Expo, which will be held Oct. 23-27.

Proposals should be emailed to policy{at}apha.org and must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Feb. 12. For more information about the policy statement development process, visit bit.ly/policystatements or email policy{at}apha.org.
