June 7, 2024. Reno, Sparks, Nev.  – Northern Nevada Public Health (NNPH) is accepting applications from members of the public to join the Food Protection Hearing and Advisory Board.

The Food Protection Hearing Advisory Board (FPHAB) consists of seven members that are appointed by the District Board of Health in Washoe County. At least two members must be representatives of the local food service industry.
