AIHA Student/Young Member-Focused Programs

Future Leaders Institute
Designed for young professionals with less than 15 years of work experience. The Institute is a two an a half day program that focuses on strengthening the leadership skills of young IH professionals.

Students and Early Career Professionals Committee
Purpose is to engage students at various educational levels, and apprise them of opportunities available in the OEHS industry; provide opportunities for students to learn more about their chosen area of study; and promote interaction between students and professionals in the field of OEHS.

Student Local Sections
Participation in a student local section is one of the primary paths to association leadership and is an excellent way for interested students to get active in the association and the industrial hygiene profession.

Lead the way for a new IH community at your school by accessing the Student Local Section Implementation Kit.
