Eric Goldin, HPS President, 2019–2021

The Health Physics Society (HPS) has just issued the "Health Physics Society Statement on Diversity and Inclusion," which was developed by a task force in light of the recent social unrest. The task force was led by Cochairs Nicole Martinez and Kendall Berry and additional members Boyd (Henry) Rose, Chris Shaw, Lisa Manglass, Joy Epps, and Patricia Lee. As president of the Society, I greatly appreciate their thoughtfulness and insight in developing this statement. I also want to remind HPS members that we have a "Respectful Behavior Policy" that was published a few years ago and clearly states our expectations for participation in HPS events and activities. The task force identified some actions that will be tracked in our strategic planning process to ensure sustainability and success. Please don't hesitate to contact me or any Board member if you have questions or input.
