Abstract
Dear Dr. Boulton, As you may know, “Workforce ” is the first of the six priorities listed in APHL’s current (2010-2013) and previous (2006-2009) Strategic Plans. A crucial strength of our Association’s ongoing Workforce Development Program is multi-component workforce research. Over the past two years access to support provided by the University of Michigan’s Center of Excellence for Public Health Workforce Studies has greatly accelerated this research program. We are most grateful to the Center and you personally for undertaking the initial characterization of the public health, environmental, and agricultural laboratory (PHEAL) workforce, an undertaking that has provided an excellent assessment and a solid base on which to build future PHEAL workforce research and products needed to expand the PHEAL workforce pipeline. Thank you for forwarding the final draft of the National Laboratory Capacity Assessment. This collaborative initiative has resulted in a summary document rich with information that has provided an exceptional profile of our public health, environmental, and agricultural laboratories. On behalf of the Workforce Development Committee and the APHL Board of Directors, we extend our appreciation for a truly productive and effective collaboration. Lastly, we hope that
