I pose the question of “What is your favorite part of APHA conference?” to the TAMH writing staff.
Here’s one of the best responses I received below:
“Looking forward to this year’s APHA Conference. My favorite part of
the event is wandering around the Exhibition hall, networking with
various organization’s booths and answering any and all questions
about our hard work as men’s health advocates. It’s always motivating
to hear people say things like, “You know, I haven’t heard a lot about
efforts geared specifically to men, and I’d love to learn more. It’s
so important because of my father/uncle/son….” Congrats also to all
those involved in the creation of the new APHA Men’s Health Caucus! ”
