ASSP New Membership Model and Advisory Committee
Jocelyn Milby, ASSP WPA Advisory Group Member, recently participated in an ASSP Advisory Group meeting. The information shared at the meeting included information on ASSP’s New Membership Model which is summarized as “ASSP members can now join common interest group and practice specialty communities at no additional cost. This free enhancement is geared to enrich member experiences through a greater sharing of resources and best practices with colleagues on a global scale. ASSP offers four common interest groups and 18 practice specialties, such as construction, manufacturing, ergonomics and transportation.”
