Group dynamics
Our members range from students to early career-long professionals, with a varied mix of IH/OEHS practitioners from industry, academia, government/military, and consulting. Our welcoming and active group engages primarily through our virtual committee and social meetings. We are always looking to welcome new members who can participate in a manner that works for their busy lifestyle:
- Joining a project team, such as creating a brochure, writing an article, or reviewing an award application
- Participate in monthly committee meetings—provide feedback, recommend areas to explore, and communicate opportunities to collaborate.
- One-and-done micro-volunteering tasks as the needs arise.
- Mentorship and professional development.
- Leadership development (serving as an officer of the group or project team leader).
