Content analyses of the official printed programs for the 1973 and 1983 annual meetings of the American Public Health Association were used to compare the proportion of men and women serving as officers of the Association, members of the Executive Board, section representatives to the APHA Governing Council, and officers of section councils. The findings suggest substantial progress for women in gaining access to APHA leadership, despite continued underrepresentation in several of the Association's highest offices.
