My term as president has been completely engaging, challenging, exciting and satisfying, and I am grateful to have had this opportunity. For 2011, Rina Schneur will be our president, giving INFORMS the benefit of her sharp eye and keen mind and her persistence in pursuit of the logical. Terry Harrison will be president-elect in 2011 and I will continue on the Board as past-president following in the footsteps of Don Kleinmuntz. Don provided me with wise advice, and despite his major responsibilities in his day job, he was always available to discuss INFORMS with me. We were a good team, and I hope I can provide Rina with the support that Don provided me.

Constitutional reform was on the agenda again at the Annual General Meeting in Canberra, as it will be for the next several AGMs I think, as there is clear recognition from the membership that the Society is facing change. The roles of the Divisional chairs and State chairs and the nature of the general meeting were discussed in the light of overall structure. The Council is the principal decision-making body but because the Council only meets twice-yearly, interactions inside the Executive form the operational and strategic engine of ASM. The current Executive includes the incumbent President, with either the incoming (President-Elect) or outgoing (Immediate Past President), the Vice-President Scientific Affairs, Vice-President Corporate Affairs and Vice-President Communications. The Chair roles have long been tasked with national leadership but without a role in Executive they have been preoccupied almost exclusively with the national meeting and speak only at the National Scientific Advisory Committee, which has an enormous operational role managing the bulk of the scientific awards and meetings. The recent move of the Division Chairs into Council as invitees over the last year or two has worked well and the increased involvement of State Chairs similarly. We will be now ratifying these arrangements by seeking formal endorsement at an extraordinary general meeting of the membership to bring the Constitution into line with these arrangements.

Abstract 2019 is the last full year of the EUPHA strategy 2014-2020: Voicing knowledge. Enhancing capacity. The 2014-2020 strategy has allowed EUPHA to strengthen capacity building throughout Europe and has given our EUPHA sections and EUPHAnxt the visibility they deserve. Voicing knowledge has made big steps forwards with the help of our two presidents: Martin McKee and Natasha Azzopardi Muscat. But society has changed, new threats (fake news) are surfacing, old threats (measles) are coming back and EUPHA and its members need to adapt. In 2018, a working group was installed with representatives from our members, our sections, our Executives and EUPHAnxt to discuss what EUPHA should focus on in the next 5 years. The new strategy has (hopefully) been adopted by all our members in November 2019 (the day before the conference) and is presented here. Next to the new strategy, EUPHA will have to develop a 5-year work plan to describe what needs to be done to achieve this strategy. More importantly, what is expected of the public health network. What skills do they need? How should the training, life-long education be shaped? In this workshop, we will first present the changing environment (McKee), followed by a presentation on our new strategy (Azzopardi Muscat and Nagyova). We will than have a Round Table with representatives of our members and of our partners. Questions to be discussed/answered are: do they have these skills already, how can we move forward, what is missing. Round Table members: Danijela Stimac, Croatian Public Health AssociationYves Charpak, French Society of Public HealthJorid Grimeland, Norwegian Public Health AssociationPasquale Cacciatore, EUPHAnxtWalter Ricciardi, Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health, president-elect of the World Federation of Public Health AssociationsKasia Czabanowska, ASPHER immediate past president Key messages Public health will be stronger when we plan collaborative actions. Evidence to policy should focus on actionable recommendations.
