News / Current Events
  • Save The Date! The 2010 NJEHA Annual Conference and Exhibition will be held March 07-09, 2010 at the Tropicana Resort and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.  Please click here for full information, including schedule and registration forms!


  • The NJEHA Executive Council is proud to announce the Gary S. Strauss Memorial Fund Conference Honorarium! This new honorarium is designed specifically to financially assist members with attending the 2010 Annual Educational Conference and Exhibition. Up to ten individual honorariums covering up to a 3-day registration fee will be awarded to NJEHA members in good standing.


  • Did you know that the Local Public Health Emergency Response Fund for H1N1, which all New Jersey Local and County health departments recently received, can be used to cover costs of attending the NJEHA Annual Educational Conference and Exhibition scheduled for March 7-9 2010?

    Our keynote presentation on Monday March 8th, "H1N1 Flu: The New Jersey Experience", will be presented by Dr. Susan Walsh, NJDHSS Deputy Commissioner and Lisa McHugh, NJDHSS Influenza Surveillance Coordinator. This presentation will provide our attendees with invaluable H1N1 information pertaining particularly to New Jersey, and we hope to see as many of you there as possible.

    Funds from “Travel, Conferences & Meetings” and “Staff Training & Education Cost” line items can be used to cover conference attendance expenses, including registration fees and hotel expenses.  You may use the existing money in Schedule C Travel Expense, or if the existing money is not enough to cover the costs, you may submit changes to Schedule C Travel Expense at your next budget revision.

    In these trying economic times, we realize that funding attendance of the Annual Conference may present a challenge. We hope the information included here will be of assistance to you.
