What?
The Communication Committee identifies current issues that bear on the use of risk science. The Committee aims to help inform SRA members, policymakers, state legislative bodies and others about the use of risk science to inform evidence-based decisions. The Communication Committee assists the Council in managing external communications activities to promote the society, serve the needs of the membership, and assist in making the membership aware of important Society information. The Committee works closely with Big Voice Communications, the public relations agency currently under contract with SRA.
