Awards Committee

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.

Committee Sign-Up

What does an average committee meeting look like?

On average, committee meetings are virtual, facilitated by one or more individuals on a virtual meeting platform, and conducted in a conversational manner, with visual organization and work tracking methodology.

What are the responsibilities and expectations that you have of committee members?

In addition to actively participating in the effort to prepare and deliver on the awards processes (including planning for and completing the annual awards event), members can expect to receive regular communication about each award, awardee and nominations process – for their regular input and specific skillset. Committee members are required to be CPHA Members.
