Call for SETAC North America Board Members Now Open
The SETAC North America Board of Directors maintains oversight over SETAC North America programs, including the annual meeting. Membership in the board is refreshed annually to strive for equal representation from three sectors (academia, business and government) as well as balance in expertise and backgrounds.
