AGENDA & PROGRAM INFORMATION
 

All four of the professional organizations sponsoring the Uniting Public Health Conference practice a sustainable mission, and work diligently to ensure that the educational events and conferences we present our members with are in line with that mission.  It is for this reason that we have moved away from providing attendees with packets of printed materials.  We now provide the same materials here for you to browse and download at your convenience, based on which information you feel is most beneficial to you.

ALL DOCUMENTS ARE FINAL AS OF 9-21-09.  PLEASE BROWSE THE DOCUMENTS BELOW FOR USE AT THE CONFERENCE.
