Regular Memberships:
Regular membership in the Central Chapter HIS is limited to state employees engaged in plant pest inspection work as inspectors or supervisors, be it in the field, laboratory, or office. Members of HIS chapters outside of the Central Chapter states, and administrative personnel involved in plant pest control work in other agencies are also welcome to attend and participate in discussions and webinars hosted by the Central Chapter.
Subscribing Memberships:
The Central Chapter HIS has established the category of "Subscribers" to enable friends of the society such as retired inspectors, inspectors from outside the Central Chapter region, researchers, and university professionals to be affiliated with the chapter and to receive and contribute to the newsletter and attend events.
Other benefits:
In addition to the educational and social value of the annual conferences, interstate events, and virtual events hosted by the CCHIS, access to current and archived newsletters and opportunities to make acquaintances with those of the same vocation in other states is a great reason to participate as a member. Members make lasting friendships, discover common interests, and derive considerable benefit from discussing plant pest and inspection issues and questions with their peers in other areas.
The rewards of membership provide benefits to both the individuals and their employers. The CCHIS and its activities have been well supported by by the Central Plant Board and regulatory administrators in the Central Plant Board states. Many HIS members have moved from serving as inspectors and into state plant health administrative positions.
An inspector naturally wants to improve their knowledge and skills and the CCHIS can be an enjoyable part of this process. You are invited and encouraged to become part of our membership now and join with others that enjoy sharing the interests and interesting experiences of their vocations.
