Additional Membership Units
Benefits of Additional Member Units:
With the broadening and overlap of issues within public health, members expressed their need and desire to be active and seriously involved in more than one single Section or SPIG. In November 2007, the Governing Council approved that members would now have the option to choose up to three member units with a $30 fee for each additional Section/SPIG. The first unit is still free.
The benefits of this new option include but are not limited to:
Voting/election rights authorized
Ability to run for an elected leadership position in more than one Section/SPIG*
Receive direct/specific communications from Section/SPIG leaders to all its members
Participate in Section/SPIG listserves
Unit members benefit from the technologies of e-communicate, blast e-mail capacity, etc within more than one single Section
Ability to strengthen and promote interdisciplinary education, training, policy development and action
Appropriate freedom to be more involved in assisting a SPIG in reaching its goal of Section status
Expansion of networking opportunities as one becomes validly and actively involved in more than one Section/SPIG
Opportunity to present at a Scientific Session at Annual Meeting is expanded by being an active and involved member of more than one Section/SPIG
Build a critical mass to advocate on selected issues
*Members may not be a candidate or an elected officer in more than one unit at a time.
