Dear NPHIC Members and other Public Health Communicators:

As the president of the nation’s premier organization of public health communicators, I invite you to attend the 2008 NPHIC Annual Conference in San Antonio, Texas, October 5-8, 2008. Our conference attracts hundreds of people, including public health communicators in health and emergency response agencies, public relations’ professionals in private firms, representatives of companies affiliated with health-related issues and just about anyone interested in public health.

With its important role in Texas independence and its fusion of cultures, San Antonio has always been a crossroads for travelers, explorers and those on a quest for liberty, making it a truly unique and authentic destination. The exceptional Westin Riverwalk San Antonio will be host to the conference.

The NPHIC Annual Conference offers Cutting Edge Educational sessions on such topics as health literacy, pan flu, ethics in journalism, using new media and an interactive workshops. In addition to the excellent educational sessions offered at the NPHIC Annual Conference, attendees will also have access to State-of-the-Art public health products and services through our extraordinary trade show. 

Make your plans now to visit and experience the "fiesta spirit" of this great city and learn about future technology and education as it relates to public health.

I look forward to meeting you in San Antonio!
