Why join the New Jersey Society for Public Health Education (NJSOPHE)?

 

"What does NJSOPHE have to offer? Through NJSOPHE, I became aware of a position within the Department of Health and Senior Services and was hired. Through NJSOPHE, I have also appreciated the opportunity to network with and get to know some very fine professionals in my field. NJSOPHE seems to provide a center where we can all meet and find out what’s going on in other areas of health education." Linda LeStrange

"Networking, networking, networking!! I have always enjoyed the tremendous opportunity to meet and talk with other Health Educators. Many times I have referred colleagues or clients to other members with expertise in a specific area. I have also recruited consultants for different projects, and an about to post another consultant position with our own Job Bank. A new colleague will be joining our department, and I first met her two years ago carpooling to one of our programs! So as you can see, the opportunities with membership are endless!"
