Annual Meeting Activities

  • The LGBTQ Health Caucus works to infuse LGBTQ Content throughout the APHA Annual Meeting, including hosting a robust scientific program of oral and poster presentations.

  • The All-Member Meeting provides an opportunity to network and meet other LGBTQ+ public health professionals. The state of the Caucus is also provided at this time!

  • Celebrate the year with us at the Annual Caucus Social - often held at a local LGBTQ+ location. It provides a great opportunity for networking.

  • Caucus Mentorship Program is an annual initiative that connects our student members to more senior researchers and practitioners to provide insight and guidance on professional development and to allow for networking among those with common interests. Potential mentors and mentees who identify as LGBTQ or have interests in LGBTQ health are generally matched during the winter, and the program runs through the following APHA Annual Meeting in the fall. For questions about the Mentorship Program, please contact our Student Chair.

  • The Exhibit Hall Booth provides a central location to access LGBTQ Health Content and materials. Stop by to get your Pride Flag Sticker. The Caucus also ensures the visibility of LGBTQ content throughout the Annual Meeting through things such as flyers and pronoun badges.

  • The LGBTQ Health Caucus offers a robust award program to recognize excellence in LGBTQ Health.
