Get Out the Vote
AIHA® has partnered with Votenet to provide
a safe, secure Web-based voting system during the March 2011 Board of Directors election cycle. Beginning in early March, AIHA members will use their
e-mail address and membership identification number to access the voting system.
Members who require a paper ballot must submit their request by e-mail
to ballot@aiha.org no later than Friday, Feb. 25. The paper ballot will be
mailed by early March and must be returned postmarked no later than Friday, March 18, to be counted in the election. For more information, please
contact Judy Keithline at (703) 846-0702 or keithline@aiha.org.
The Consultants Listing is a comprehensive print and online directory of
OEHS companies across the nation. This directory provides detailed, up-to-date information about listed companies’ OEHS specialties and is requested by some of the top organizations in the
industry.
The latest edition of the Consultants Listing was
published in January. If you missed the opportunity to
purchase a listing, you can still get an online-only
listing or be listed in the next published version,
which will be the conference issue. For more information, contact Erin Breece at ebreece@aiha.org or (703)
