IPHA's Public Policy Committee leads the advocacy activity for the organization. The committee recommends positions on current public health issues, develops proposed resolutions and coordinates advocacy support of IPHA policy positions through personal contacts with legislators and other decision-makers. In addition, the committee reviews legislative proposals and other rules and regulations concerning public health. The committee operates in cooperation with other public health organizations, key players, and a grassroots advocacy network to achieve IPHA’s policy goals.
