Description
Founded in 1937, the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) works to advance the environmental health and protection professional for the purpose of providing a healthful environment for all. NEHA provides training and resources for continuing education through online courses and an online bookstore; holds an annual conference; fosters networking and career growth; and publishes the widely-respected peer-reviewed Journal of Environmental Health. This webinar will highlight membership benefits provided by NEHA, provide a look into NEHA’s Climate + Health projects, and feature program and partnership opportunities in the work NEHA does around children’s environmental health, vector control, private water, and built environment. Learn about opportunities for collaboration and enhance your environmental health toolkit. Tribes will learn about education opportunities and credentials offered by NEHA, including the Registered Sanitarian and Registered Environmental Health Specialist credentials. NEHA is expanding committees as well, and will be posting openings for the climate + health committee near the end of this year. NIHB is delighted to partner more closely with NEHA and both organizations hope that this webinar will help Tribes access resources, share input, and work more closely with NEHA.
