2014

  • March 2014: NEHA is an active member of a coalition of national organizations active in public and environmental health that was formed to support adequate funding levels for key federal agencies. Specifically, this group has been active in suggesting both priority areas as well as specific funding recommendations for the National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR). As the appropriation process for FY 15 begins - the coalition developed this funding and policy letter. This letter has been transmitted to all members of both the House and Senate appropriation sub-committees having jurisdiction over the CDC budget. This is yet another example of the work being done by the NEHA Government Affairs program in assuring that you through your professional society have a voice in key policy and resource allocation decisions.
