Within this exclusive sponsorship experience lies a coterie of industry partners currently engaging with AIHA on the highest levels across many platforms. This invitation-only group is comprised of organizations who are actively involved with the Association's initiatives via content contribution, sponsorship and advertising, foundation support, and more.
How It Works
Within the Hamilton Club are four tiers, comprised of benefits of increasing value. Based on their annual investment, a participating partner organization will be eligible for the benefits corresponding to the appropriate tier. These benefits have been curated to offer each member organization exclusive access, formal recognition, increased brand exposure, and opportunities to showcase their knowledge and expertise. You can explore the 2025 Hamilton Club Benefits here.
We have heard time and again that our industry partners desire the following:
- More direct and quantifiable access to AIHA members and event attendees.
- More content contribution opportunities via live and virtual presentations, our publications, authorship of blog posts, and more.
- Measurable ways to enhance their perception as “thought leaders” and experts in their respective fields.
- Better opportunities to mine our membership and event data for valuable marketing information via surveys, questionnaires, and emerging data methodology.
- Year-round PR and social media opportunities to highlight their recent achievements, latest technology and products, and their giving and volunteering within the profession.
As a member of the Hamilton Club, you'll experience a unique opportunity to fulfill your professional aspirations while making impactful contributions to safeguarding worker health. Your partnership with us will be instrumental in advancing our shared goal, and your involvement will be elevated through meaningful engagement and collective action.
"People find it intriguing that a woman, especially one viewed as 'very feminine and even fragile,' as some considered her, achieved so much in a line of work once considered very masculine.
"Barbara Sicherman
Hamilton biographer
"Her investigations of working conditions in various industries and the persuasive way she presented her findings to initially incredulous company managers continue to serve as models for today’s industrial hygienists.
"From "Alice Hamilton: Crusader and Scientist"

"As a small company, Assay Technology must seek every opportunity to increase our visibility in the AIHA community. We find many benefits by being a participating partner in the Hamilton Club. We receive points that provide us with priority booth selection for AIHA Connect. While at the AIHA Connect, we are provided with access to, and guest passes to, the Hamilton Club VIP Lounge – a great space to meet with our clients or take a few minutes from the show floor to catch up on emails and calls. The Hamilton Club promotes partners in numerous ways, including annual recognition in The Synergist, a premium listing in the AIHA Vendor Directory, and inclusion on the AIHA Hamilton Club Partner webpage. And there are avenues that we have yet to take advantage of like social media mentions and retweets and generating Twitter posts to AIHA followers. The AIHA team, led by Laura Cilano Garcia, also works with me to brainstorm the best way to maximize the funds we have available for advertising. Plus, there are four levels of sponsorship, so you are likely to find a place in your budget that fits with the Hamilton Club. We find our partnership with AIHA Hamilton Club promotes Assay Technology Inc in systematic, beneficial, and unexpected ways.
