We know, we know, September is a busy time of year. School is back in session, everyone is home from vacation, extracurricular activities start up again and you are just getting back into your regular schedule. We know you wanted to submit an abstract for our upcoming conference but between everything else you haven’t found the time and soon it will be too late…

Don’t forget! Only e-mail applications sent to staff@phabc.org are accepted. We hope many of you will consider becoming more active within PHABC and apply for a board member position. We have had an exciting couple of years of growth and more is expected in the following years. Help us shape the future of our association and public health across BC and beyond.
We are always looking for volunteers to help note-take, keep time, support our public forum and work the registration desks. We are pleased to provide volunteers with a complimentary registration provided they complete 8 hours of volunteer work.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact Christina at coordinator@phabc.org to sign up. Preference will be given to those who have successfully completed a volunteer shift for PHABC in the past (in either the summer school or conference).
