“All For One and One For All!”

Volunteers from all corners of Ontario’s public health sector are being
sought to help plan and stage this year’s OPHA Conference. Please consider
volunteering or supporting staff/students in your workplace to volunteer to
help with this important event. This is an excellent opportunity to support
your provincial association, to get involved in the largest public health
event of the year, and to promote and enhance your skills.

If you have expertise in special event planning, publicity and promotions,
graphic design and production, fundraising, or web development, or just want
to lend a hand wherever it's needed, we would like to hear from you.

The conference will be held in Toronto on November 23 & 24, 2004.  Time
requirements for each position varies, but volunteers are asked to commit at
least 10 hours per month for the next 10 months and will be expected to
attend at least 1 meeting per month (either in person or via
teleconference).  Regular email access is required.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please
