About

The mission of the Women in Radiation Protection Section is to build and maintain a supportive community within the Health Physics Society (HPS) that will advocate for the professional development of women and other underrepresented groups in health physics and related disciplines. The section and its activities are open to all genders with the belief that all Society members may benefit from inclusive career-development training and enhanced mentoring and networking. The specific objectives of the section are to:

Increase awareness of and appreciation for the diversity of Society members.

Coordinate, review, and advocate for activities that increase the participation, recognition, and retention of women across all career levels.

Provide forums for discussion and resolution of scientific, technical, and administrative issues raised by members.
