International Society Of

“The organization has entered into an agreement with an independent management organization to manage all of its activities and programs. Designated members of the board are responsible for the oversight of the performance of the independent management organization.”

“Any person with professional interest in exposure science and environmental research shall be eligible for membership. Any person may apply by submitting an application and the annual membership fee to the secretary or in the absence of a secretary, to the treasurer of the society. Membership shall become active the first day of the month following receipt of the first year's dues. Membership is for the calendar year. Any member may request, from the secretary or the board, the policies and procedures governing the membership status. The society encourages and seeks broad participation from such disciplines as exposure assessment and analysis, occupational hygiene, toxicology, biochemistry, chemistry, biostatistics, statistics, epidemiology, wildlife management, ecology, and risk assessment, among others.”

“Executive/senior board members are elected through a multi-step process. First, the membership is invited by the nominations committee to nominate or self-nominate candidates for open positions. Sometimes individuals are approached by the nominations committee and encouraged to self-nominate (particularly when there is a small number of nominations for a given position). Candidates are asked to provide brief statements and bios. The nominations committee considers all nominees, and in the event of a large slate, may reduce the number of candidates based on previous involvement, past service to the society, etc. This final slate is reviewed by the executive committee and a ballot is sent to the membership via email. Members vote electronically. The vote of the membership determines the selection, except in events of ties or near ties, when the nominations committee, board of directors and executive committee review the votes and make a final call.”

“Members vote on changes to the organization's bylaws and other matters deemed appropriate by the governing board.”
