Awards Committee
The Awards Committee is focused on recognizing and honoring significant contributions to public health and health equity across Colorado. Committee members work to evaluate the awards processes with inclusion, representation and equity in mind – with the goal of inspiring more work in the building of a public health movement for years to come.
What does an average committee meeting look like?
