Awards Banquet (Wednesday, May 20th 6:30 pm-11:00 pm)

 

At TPHA, we truly value our members and the service they provide to our organization. We have a long history of recognizing outstanding leadership and service within our membership, beginning with the very first TPHA Annual Meeting back in 1923, where the grand prize winner assumed the Presidency of the organization! We don't do THAT anymore, but every year, at our awards ceremony, we honor members who have provided outstanding service not only specifically to this organization, but to the practice of public health in general.

We will be having a fun evening, complete with a full buffet, award presentations, photobooth, music and dancing! This special event is included with your registration fee but if you decide to bring a guest to accompany you there will be an additional charge for your guest’s ticket. The extra ticket is $100.

Please plan to join us for this special evening of special recognition, dining and dancing!
