Informativo AIHA Internacional

In an effort to enhance the membership experience for international members, AIHA has created a quarterly e-newsletter to highlight current international health- and safety-related issues, member spotlights and international events. The premier issue of AIHA Global Outreach debuted in Fall 2007. Included among the topics covered were AIHA's outreach efforts in China.

We are currently seeking international members who are interested in being featured in the Member Spotlight. If you have some interest please answer the following questions and submit with a picture to ajohnson@aiha.org by January 9th.

1. Tell us about the job you do internationally in the OEHS field.
2. What the top issues in Occupational Health and Safety field in your region?
3. What role can AIHA play in assisting with the work you do?

Please note that content may be edited based on space availability.

Thank you, and Happy Holidays!

Best regards,

Mili
