IAHSS 

Why belong to IAHSS? Here's what other individuals like you have to say about membership in IAHSS: "When I was faced with a potential SARS outbreak at my facility, I used the IAHSS Membership Directory to ask my colleagues in Canada how they handled a similar situation." Tom Smith, UNC. Networking with peers is the most often cited benefit of membership. What may be new to you is often a challenge experienced by a peer in a different locale.

Personal development is another major benefit to membership. Educational programs offered at the national or through chapters at the local level enable members to grow in knowledge and skills.

Publications, both electronic and printed, offer a steady supply of well conceived ideas and resources that further your abilities.

Certification exams and professional credentialing place you and your organization in the vanguard of healthcare security and safety. "My facility places a high priority on training and certification. IAHSS training materials and certification programs have raised the image of my department to one of professionals who are integral to this facility's success." Robert O'Brien, Eisenhower Army Medical Center.

Immediate Access to information is at your fingertips through the IAHSS web site. Whether you are seeking a colleague, searching for a new opportunity or need copies of journal articles, the web site is the place to be. "If you haven't used it, the Journal archives in the members-only section of the web site alone is worth the price of membership." Tom Smith, UNC.

Your future depends on the quality of protection services you can offer your institution. Membership in IAHSS makes sense. Don't you owe it to yourself to be prepared? Join now.
