Nominations Deadlines Approaching
AIHA Awards and Fellows
The AIHA Awards Committee is requesting nominations for the 2012 Fellow
and AIHA awards. The Fellow designation was established to recognize members who have been full members in good standing for a minimum of 15 years
and have made recognized contributions to industrial hygiene or related disciplines, either through research, leadership, publications, education or service
to AIHA. The number of Fellows is limited to no more than five percent of the
membership. Each committee, local section, special interest group and other
formal AIHA entity may nominate, each year, a maximum of two individuals
for the Fellow Award. At-large nominations will also be accepted with the exception that individuals may not self-nominate. AIHA awards are presented
annually at AIHce to individual members or groups who have made significant contributions to the advancement of IH and OEHS.
The deadline for AIHA awards nominations is Dec. 1, and the deadline for
submissions for AIHA Fellows nominations is Dec. 31. For more information
