SRA 2009 Annual Meeting

Risk Analysis: The Evolution of a Science

December 6-9, 2009 — Baltimore, Maryland

Risk Analysis, including risk perception, risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication, represents an interdisciplinary field that is the foundation of decision making across a myriad of disciplines. The annual meeting of the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) brings together nearly 1,000 international scientists and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines who share an interest in risk analysis. Representing academia, government, industry, NGOs, private firms, and themselves, SRA members recognize the value of diverse perspectives and a shared commitment to high quality risk analysis methodology and practice.

Open Meeting on Future SRA Public Information Activities: Tuesday, December 8 at 5:30 PM in Baltimore A

The Communications Committee has been charged by the SRA Council to assess current public information activities and to investigate possible new ones to bring SRA more national recognition. The committee is sponsoring an open meeting to get feedback from members on what SRA should be doing about future public information activities in the RISK newsletter and the Web site and with news releases that are currently being issued monthly to the media on selected articles from Risk Analysis. Should SRA follow many other societies and have a presence in the social media on Facebook and Twitter? This would offer SRA news and basic information to a different audience. Should SRA have more media coverage for its annual meetings? These are just a few of the questions under consideration. We would like input on them as well as other ideas that members might have.
