The mission of the Society for Chemical Hazard Communication’s External Communications Committee is to encourage and engage membership by seeking out and providing professionals with the news, tools, and resources they can use to become successful hazard communication professionals. Our goal is to understand the needs of our current and anticipated audience to foster participation and longevity within the organization.

The committee also publishes the Newsletter, which reports on SCHC meetings and business activities and provides information on items of interest to the HazCom community. The Newsletter is published quarterly and accepts articles from all SCHC members pending review. The committee manages the social media pages of the organization, including LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and Youtube. We also manage the Speaker Network and website.
