In choosing nominees, the Board will be looking to maintain a diverse mix of individuals to access a variety of knowledge, experience and skills. Demographic factors considered include geographic location, type of employer, education, year certified, type of work experience, administrative skills, accomplishments, etc. The basic qualifications that apply to all Board members are a commitment to the industrial hygiene profession and a willingness to serve a four year term of office.
Each ABIH Director is expected to participate fully at Board meetings and contribute through Board Committees and Special Assignments.
There are three Board meetings per year. Meetings are usually held on a weekend to avoid conflicting with work. However, there may be some travel time on a Friday and/or Monday. Expenses related to Board travel are covered by ABIH. Because of the nature of the Board's work, Directors will be expected to sign a Confidentiality/Conflict of interest statement.
