Subject: [HealthLit] Special International Health Literacy Award

IHA is pleased to announce its first-ever IHA International Health Literacy Award, designed specifically to recognize exceptional work done by our health literacy friends and colleagues practicing outside the United States. Please visit our website, www.iha4health.org<http://www.iha4health.org> starting next week to access the nomination form.

Over the years, I've been asked whether people from outside the United States are eligible to submit an entry for the IHA Health Literacy Awards, which are given out at our conference in May in Southern California. And though my answer has always been "Yes," we've noticed that very few people from outside the U.S. actually submit a nomination.

We have also noticed that much excellent work is being done around the world to study and improve health literacy. And so, we've decided to initiate this award.

The Call for International Health Literacy Award nominations is opening up a little sooner than the regular award call for nominations (that call will go out on March 1). This is so the eventual winner can make travel arrangements to come to the conference on May 5. We understand that, in some cases, making international travel arrangements can take some additional time.

Look for the application to be up on our website by Tuesday, Feb. 16 at the latest. Questions? Email me at mvillaire at iha4health.org<mailto:mvillaire at iha4health.org>

Please share this announcement with your international health literacy friends and colleagues. Thank you.

Michael
