Call for Nominations -- Environmental Health Officer PAC Membership Deadline Date: 6 August 2007

The Environmental Health Officer Professional Advisory Committee (EHOPAC) is currently seeking motivated Environmental Health Officers (EHO) of the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps) who are interested in serving as members of this committee. The EHOPAC provides advice and consultation to the Chief EHO and the EHO category on matters relating to professional activities and personnel issues affecting EHOs. Members represent a diverse cross-section of Corps officers within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Operating Divisions (OPDIVs)/Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs) and non-HHS organizations to which Corps officers are detailed. The EHOPAC is currently accepting nominations for membership for 2008. Members are elected for a 3-year term and may serve a maximum of two terms. The election for new members will be conducted at the Fall 2007 EHOPAC meeting. The Chief EHO will recommend successful candidates to the Surgeon General for appointment with the concurrence of the direct supervisors and OPDIV/STAFFDIV and non-HHS organization representatives. The EHOPAC meets in person four times per year. Although EHOPAC members may occasionally teleconference in for meetings, travel is generally required for membership. Regular attendance at the meetings is expected and members are expected to actively chair a minimum of one subcommittee during the term of service. Openings will be available for members representing the Indian Health Service (2 vacancies), National Park Service, U.S. Coast Guard, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1 vacancy per organization), and 1 opening for a civilian representative from any HHS OPDIV/STAFFDIV. Corps officers and civil servants who have already submitted a nomination within the past 3 years do not need to send in another nomination unless their supervisor or program manager has changed since the original submission; however, all officers must submit a current curriculum vitae (CV) in order to be considered. The endorsed nomination form and electronic CV must be sent via e-mail (preferred), postmarked or faxed to later than 6 August 2007.
