Northeast District

Hello All,

The Northeast OEHA Planning Committee is very excited to present this year’s fall conference at the Hilton Garden Inn in Twinsburg, OH, on October 14 and 15, 2025. The conference theme is, “OEHA Protecting the Public from the Real Pollutant… Misinformation”. We can’t wait for you to join us and spend a few days with colleagues to network, learn, chat, and laugh a bit too!

The Planning Committee is proud to present our keynote this year. On Tuesday you will hear from Dennis Summers, DVM, DACVPM with “HPAI Overview, Regulatory Response Process, and Strategies.” This presentation will provide an overview of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and discuss the regulatory process to responding to reports.

Again this year we are offering a two day track of presentations. Each day will provide Environmental Health Specialists (REHS) with CEU’s, pending Ohio Department of Health approval. Two-day conference attendees can earn twelve CEU’s and two pesticide credit hours. Please see our tentative agenda listed on OEHA website to see the sessions that will be available.

We will hold several fundraisers to support the George Eagle Scholarship Fund, so please remember to bring some cash for this great cause. A basket raffle will take place during the entirety of the conference. Additionally, we will have daily 50/50 raffles. The Planning Committee welcomes donations for the raffle items. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to donate.

The Hilton Garden Inn is at 8971 Wilcox Dr., Twinsburg, OH. Hotel accommodations for those wishing to stay overnight can be made directly by contacting the hotel at 330-405-4488. Rooms will be held for OEHA attendees at a special rate of $127 per night until September 13, 2025. Please mention you are with OEHA to obtain our special rate.

For any additional information regarding the conference or to nominate someone for the future District Director-Elect position, the Outstanding Sanitarian Award, or the Gary Matson Membership Recognition, please visit the OEHA website or contact me directly. We look forward to seeing all of you this fall!
