How We Operate

Each state elects their representative to the SEHPBA, who serves a 2-year term. The state representatives meet several times a year at central locations and at industry events to help coordinate affiliate activities.

Committees are formed to handle various functions of your organization. We welcome you to join the board when the seat comes open for your state, or to serve on a committee of special interest to you. We welcome your support and participation! Your state representative is your first contact for issues facing you locally.
