| The Environment Section invites you to attend the 2001 Homer Calver Award ceremony on October 22, 2001 at 12:30-2:00 (Session 3022). This year's Calver awardees include Dr. Henry Falk, the assistant administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and Dr. Richard Jackson, the director of the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health. Dr. Falk and Dr. Jackson will offer their perspectives on the future of environmental health.
Every year the Environment Section invites a national figure to speak on his/her work to improve the nation's environmental health. The Calver Lecture began in 1970 through the coincidence of two events that year: the celebration of the first Earth Day on April 22 and the passing of Homer Calver on September 15. Homer Calver served for seven years (1923 - 1930) as Executive Director of APHA and editor of the American Journal of Public Health. From 1933 until his retirement in the mid-1960s he was the Executive Director of the Public Health Committee of the Paper Cup Institute, which he helped to organize. He was also editor of the Health Officer's News Digest, which then became the Environmental News Digest (END), and is currently published by the National Environmental Health Association as the Food END. |
