Local Support Committee
In organising the annual conference, EPH Conference Foundation works together with a local partner in the host country. This is usually the national public health association but can also be the national institute for public health or a university. The local partner establishes a Local Support Committee (LSC) which consists of national stakeholders and leading experts in public health. The LSC has the task to gather support for the conference, to market and advertise the conference in the host country and to encourage national and regional participation and involvement. The Chair of the Conference is also the chair of the LSC and the contact for the EPH-CO and the EPH-EB.
