Environmental Health Officer PAC Membership – Call for Nominations
Deadline Date: 14 August 2006 |

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) and
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) civil service employees who are interested in serving as
members of this committee. The EHOPAC provides advice and consultation to the Chief EHO and the category
on matters relating to professional activities and personnel issues affecting officers. Members represent a
diverse cross-section within the HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs), Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs), and non-HHS
organizations to which Corps officers are assigned. |

|
The EHOPAC is currently accepting nominations for membership for 2007. 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
2006 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. |

Expectations of an EHOPAC member:
- The EHOPAC meets in person four times per year and members may occasionally teleconference in for
meetings; however, travel is required for membership.
- Travel and attendance to meetings is mandatory with full OPDIV, STAFFDIV, or non-HHS organization
funding support. Exceptions are dealt with on an individual basis.
- Members are expected to actively Chair a minimum of one subcommittee during term of service.
- Supervisor and OPDIV, STAFFDIV, or non-HHS organization must support attendance and participation
in the EHOPAC during the entire term.

Openings will be available for members representing the Indian Health Service, Environmental Protection
Agency, Program Support Center, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (one per OPDIV/non-HHS
organization). Commissioned officers and HHS civil service employees 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. Nomination forms may be downloaded directly from the
EHOPAC Web site at http://ehopac.org/index.cfm?fa=getinvolved. |
