The local sections of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)
are the grassroots of the association. The mission of the Gulf Coast Section is
to promote the purposes of the AIHA. The Gulf Coast Section's area includes
counties in Texas from Port Lavaca to Beaumont, and Galveston to College
Station. The purposes of the AIHA are to:
|
1. Promote the field of industrial hygiene |
|
2. Provide education and training |
|
3. Provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and
information |
|
4. Represent the interests of industrial hygienists
and those they serve. |
The Gulf Coast Section has approximately 135 members. Nationally, AIHA
membership exceeds 11,000.
Regular meetings of the membership are held on the
third Thursday of odd numbered months.
Benefits of local section membership include voting rights, The
Gulf Coast Monitor - a semi-monthly newsletter, opportunities for committee
involvement, access to local Job Information, and networking
opportunities. The section also sponsors a review course
in preparation for the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) examinations, and
Exhibitor's Show annual meeting in September.
The Texas Industrial Hygiene Council (TIHC) is a state governmental affairs
organization which is co-sponsored by the local sections of the AIHA in
