Open Call: Standards Advisory Panel

The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is seeking new members for the Standards Advisory Panel (SAP)!

Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of the SAP is to advise the AGF Board on standards issues and outline standards strategies that will allow AIHA to:

Identify those consensus standards issues that are important to AIHA, its members and stakeholders
Determine and manage the appropriate level of AIHA involvement in consensus standards of interest
Help the AGF Board in the selection and appointment of AIHA Representatives and Alternate Representatives to various consensus standards developing bodies of interest to AIHA
Track those activities on consensus standards development that have an impact on the OEHS profession

Standards Advisory Panel Composition

The SAP is comprised of 10 members representing a cross-section of the AIHA membership. Each member serves a three-year term. As a rule, terms are staggered so that as members rotate off, they are replaced with new members each year.

SAP Member Selection Process

The process of selecting new SAP members begins with this open call for applications from the AIHA membership. Applications are reviewed, and selections made by the SAP Chair and Vice-Chair with guidance from AIHA staff who then submit them to the AGF Board for approval. Selections are made with the aim that the Panel maintains as broad a diversity of representation as is reasonably possible.

Panel members must be current and active members of AIHA and are selected to provide a balanced representation of:

Industry sectors (corporate, academia, consulting, government)
Various levels of OEHS work experience
History of involvement in various AIHA Volunteer Groups (VGs)
Areas of professional practice and specialty

Make presentations as requested to the various AIHA VGs toward promoting the policies and procedures of the SAP

Accountability

The SAP and its Members are:

Accountable to the AGF Board of Directors
Agree to uphold and abide by the AIHA Bylaws and Code of Conduct

General Time Commitment

SAP Members are expected to:

Attend an annual meeting at AIHA Connect (if conducted in-person)
Actively participate in 1-hr monthly conference calls
