The North Dakota Public Health Association (NDPHA) had selected the AIPHRC team to receive the NDPHA "Public Health Team of the Year Award". This award recognizes a team that has worked collaboratively on a unique, creative, or simply outstanding public health effort, program, or goal in the past year.

AIPHRC will be presented the award at the Award Banquet being held during the 2017 Dakota Conference on Rural and Public Health on June 14.

Because award winners won't have an opportunity to speak at the banquet, NDPHA request the winners create a short video. This video gives them a chance to show why the deserve the award and an opportunity to give an "acceptance speech".
