OAIA, Ontario Association for Impact Assessment

 
IMPORTANT MEMBER NOTICE

January, 2010

Time to Renew Your Membership

Your 2009 membership expired on the last day of December 2009. It is now time to renew your membership for 2010 if you haven’t already done so. Click on the registration form to renew. If you were registered in 2009, and your information has not changed, you need only fill in your name and confirm that you still wish to have your name displayed on the membership list *. If you are a member and have previously requested that your name not show up on the membership list, you will need to fill out all the entries in the form to ensure we can serve you through an accurate database.

OAIA serves a broad range of members, including students; educators and researchers; impact assessment stakeholders; practitioners; policy analysts; and, managers in government and consulting organizations. The OAIA serves not only those who live or work in Ontario, but also those in the National Capital Region on either side of the Ottawa River.

Membership in OAIA gives you many of the key advantages of membership in our parent organization, the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA). Privileges include member discounts to IAIA sponsored events and access to the members-only parts of the IAIA Website. If you have not recently visited either our OAIA Website (www.oaia.on.ca) or the IAIA Website (www.iaia.org), we encourage you to do so.

The environment is currently a high political priority – nationally, provincially and locally. More than ever, it is important that the impact assessment community in Ontario and Canada have a strong organization that enables it to participate fully in discussions that will affect both our future and those of all Canadians. If we do not engage in those discussions, the informed views of impact assessment professionals will not influence important political decisions. Together we can make our voices heard to ensure a healthy environment today and sound planning and action for the benefit future generations. With you, we can contribute to a strong environmental legacy.

John McCauley

President
