Call for Nominations - Environmental Health Officer PAC
Deadline Date: 28 August 2009 | |||||||||
|
The Environmental Health Officer Professional Advisory Committee (EHOPAC) is currently seeking motivated Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) 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 Environmental Health Officer and the EHO category on matters relating to professional activities and personnel issues affecting Environmental Health Officers. Members represent a diverse cross-section of Corps officers within the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Operating Divisions (OPDIVS)/Staff Divisions (STAFFDIV), and non HHS organizations to which Corps officers are assigned.
The EHOPAC is currently accepting nominations for membership for 2010. 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 2009 EHOPAC meeting. The Chief EHO will recommend successful candidates to the Surgeon General for appointment with the concurrence of the direct supervisors and OPDIVS/STAFFDIV and non-HHS organization representatives. In the past, the EHOPAC has met in person four times per year and travel to the meetings was expected. The PAC is currently considering a change in the meeting structure to include shorter, more frequent meetings which could be attended by teleconference. However, travel would still be required for some meetings. Regular participation in 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 (IHS) (2 vacancies), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (1 vacancy), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (1 vacancy). Beginning with this election cycle, the EHOPAC is utilizing a revised self-nomination form. All officers will need to submit the new form with their supervisor’s endorsement, regardless of whether they previously submitted a form within the past 3 years. Additionally, all officers must submit their current curriculum vitae (CV) in order to be considered. The endorsed nomination form and electronic CV must be sent via email (preferred), postmarked or faxed no later than 28 August 2009. Individuals should submit the complete nomination package to: LCDR Sarah Unthank, USPHS Membership Subcommittee Chair United States Coast Guard MLCPAC Health and Safety Division 1301 Clay Street, Suite 100N Oakland, CA 94612 Phone: 510-637-1243; Fax: 510-637-1264 Email: Sarah.E.Unthank@uscg.mil |
