Any other interested persons living or working outside the above territory or organization may apply for membership in this Section, subject to the conditions and requirements listed in Section 2.

Section 2: Individuals and organizations with a professional interest in industrial hygiene are eligible to apply for membership in the Local Section. There shall be no limitation or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. Application for membership shall be made by submitting a completed application form with the dues made payable to the Southern California Section, AIHA to the Membership Director. Upon receipt, the applicant is entitled to the privileges of membership in the Local Section.

The dues for organizational members and the privileges of this class of membership shall be defined by the Executive Committee. An organizational member shall have no vote.
