Your Insider in Government Affairs Blog
NEHA’s Government Affairs program provides members with insights on environmental health in the statehouses, at the city and county level, and in Congress. The program tracks state and federal legislation, responds to federal and state inquiries on environmental health, and provides the environmental health workforce a voice in policy making.
The program is also responsible for NEHA’s Position Papers that provide government officials the environmental health point of view on topics of concern. These position papers guide NEHA’s efforts on public policy, directing the association’s responses to specific issues affecting environmental health.
Please email advocacy@neha.org with your questions, concerns and comments. We want to hear about current and emerging issues on policy that you face as an environmental health professional.
