​Excerpts from the HIS Constitution:

"The regular membership of this organization shall be limited to state employees engaged in plant pest inspection work as inspectors or as supervisors, in field or laboratory or office, other than administrative personnel. Honorary membership may be awarded to administrators or to others, who by their experience and achievements and interest are worthy of this distinction."

"Members from outside the Central Plant Board region shall be welcome to attend and participate in discussions of this organization chapter. Administrative personnel in plant pest control work are welcome to attend and participate in discussions as special guests of this organization."

Subscribers:
​This chapter has established the category of "subscribers" to enable friends of the society such as retired inspectors, inspectors from outside the Central Plant Board region, researchers... etc. to be affiliated with the chapter and to receive and contribute to the newsletter and attend events.

Other benefits:
In addition to the educational value of the annual conferences, interstate events, and virtual events hosted by the CCHIS, the opportunity to make acquaintances with those of the same vocation in many other states is a great reason to participate as a member. Many members making lasting friendships, discover common special interests and derive considerable benefit from discussing plant pest and inspection issues with their peers in other states. Access to current and archived newsletters is also a benefit.
The rewards of membership provide benefit to both the individual and their employer. The CCHIS and its activities have been well supported by regulatory administrators in the Central Plant Board states, and by the Central Plant Board itself. Many former 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 common interests and interesting experiences of their vocations.
