    The Journal of Physical Activity and Health (JPAH) has issued a special supplement specific to the U.S. National Physical Activity Plan. Available now on the JPAH Web site, the supplement contains white papers from each of the eight societal sectors addressed by the plan as well as a review of national physical activity plans from around the world.

Dear Physical Activity Friends,

Simply stated, it is our purpose and pleasure to serve you in your efforts to promote physical activity.  We are committed to elevating the issue of physical activity and equipping you to do so.

Over the past year, we have completed our organizational transition to the “National Physical Activity Society.” This enables us to better serve your needs.  We are now better positioned to provide:

•    more training opportunities,
•    more networking,
•    more resources, and
•    better representation of those promoting physical activity at all levels and in all settings

Technically, we are a new 501c3 organization, having transitioned our entire strategic and operational plan from the National Society of Physical Activity Practitioners in Public Health (NSPAPPH), a 501c6.

There are new resources, new capacity building opportunities, and new service opportunities enabling you to make a national impact and a difference in your community. There are also different levels of membership available, ranging from free basic services to a complete package for a modest inaugural rate.  Please check us out.  And let us know how we may best be of service to you … it’s why we’re here.
