Board of Directors Nomination Process

The Board for EHS Credentialing is an international professional certification board for industrial hygienists. BGC serves its credentialed practitioners by establishing and administering a valid, reliable, and rigorous credentialing process to protect the public and meet the needs of employers, which ultimately serves to promote, elevate and sustain the practice of the industrial hygiene profession worldwide.

The Board of Directors is comprised of twelve Diplomates (BGC certificate holders) for four-year terms, and one public member for a two-year term. The goal of Board composition is to have a broad representation from the professional community. Two to three new Board members are selected each year.

The BGC Board of Directors uses the Carver Policy Governance model, which emphasizes policy-making and strategic leadership in four main areas:

The Board meets face-to-face, for one to two days, three times per year (February, during the AIHce, and October). The meetings are usually held on a weekend to avoid conflict with work. Expenses related to Board travel are covered by BGC.  Monthly conference calls are scheduled to also conduct business and monitor progress.

The BGC is a 501(c)6 non-profit corporation. The Board of Directors does have fiduciary responsibility for the work of the organization. BGC maintains Directors and Officers liability insurance. Because of the nature of the Board’s work, Directors will be expected to sign a Confidentiality/Conflict of interest statement.
