Networking With Your Peers/Strategic Partners
Our members say that one of the biggest benefits they receive from the organization is networking with their peers in occupational and employee health at both a national and local level. AOHP provides networking opportunities at its national conference, where hundreds of colleagues gather annually. Most states have several chapters that meet on a regular basis and allow members to network. Members also use AOHP’s popular Listserv frequently to discuss various issues. Networking with strategic partners such as OSHA, NIOSH, and The Joint Commission further extends the web of important contacts, and is supervised by our Association Community Liaison. Members can remain educated about legislative activities pertinent to occupational health through the Government Affairs Committee (GAC).
