The EHCC National Advisory Committee (NAC) was formed in 2008.  The EHCC NAC guides CEHN’s environmental health work within the early care and learning field and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration. The committee consists of environmental health, public health and child care thought leaders working at both the national and state levels. Our NAC is unique–there are no other national child care committees that actively guide the cross collaboration between national and state child care associations and organizations AND environmental health experts.
