MEHA Ambassador Program
MEHA is thrilled to announce the launch of its Ambassador Program!
MEHA Ambassadors are public and environmental health professionals (like us!) who conduct outreach to high school and college students about our field.
The goal is to encourage the next generation to enter our wonderful profession.
Ambassadors identify the educational institutions where they would like to provide outreach – typically somewhere they have a connection – their alma mater, high schools or colleges in the communities they serve, etc.
Ambassadors give a presentation to students, either virtually or in-person. MEHA has developed several different presentations that may be used as-is or that may be adjusted to meet Ambassadors’ needs, presentation style, and audience.
For more information about the Ambassador Program, visit maeha.org/ambassadors. We hope you’ll join us!
