2007
The 2007 NPHA Conference was held on October 11 & 12 at Boomtown Conference Center in Reno, Nevada. This year's theme was "Faces of Public Health", in which we hosted 2007 APHA President, Deborah Klein Walker, EdD, as our keynote speaker.

The conference was a great success, featuring a diverse group of plenary, breakout, and poster session presenters from across the state.

Very special thanks to all of our sponsors, the planning committee, NPHA Executive Committee, and all presenters and participants.

Thanks to Amy Weiss for leading us all on a lovely afternoon walk!

Also a very special thanks to our fantastic conference organizing team, the University of Nevada School of Medicine's Office of Continuing Medical Education.
