Barbara Hamrick, Web Operations Editor in Chief

At long last, the Web Operations team is looking forward to implementing a new process for employer want ads. We know this has been a long-running free service the Health Physics Society (HPS) has provided, but we also know that new sources of revenue are important to the continuity of HPS and to help support long-needed upgrades to our website.

We examined what our sister organizations are doing (Radiation Research Society, American Nuclear Society, American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and American Society of Radiologic Technologists), and we discovered they were all charging significantly more than the Web Operations team was proposing. During its 24 February 2022 meeting in St. Louis, Missouri, the HPS Board of Directors reviewed our proposal and narrowly passed a motion to support it.

The Web Operations team is working to make this a smooth transition. Beginning on 15 April 2022, any employer want ad placed will run for 30 days at the cost of $100. There will be options for extending that up to 180 days at the time of purchase ($100 per 30 days). Any employer ad placed with HPS on or before 14 April 2022 will run without charge on the website through 30 April 2022.

Employer want ads will be placed on the Members Only employer's page for 30 days and will also be included in Health Physics News that month, which is the current practice. The site for submission of the ads will also remain the same.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Web Operations Editor in Chief Barbara Hamrick.
