Due South: Advantages of the Chapter Model

Here in the United States, the Health Physics Society (HPS) is our radiation protection society. One of the things I like about HPS, and encourage CRPA to adopt, is the concept of a chapter, which is a geographical subset of HPS. / Ici, aux États-Unis, notre société de radioprotection s’intitule la Health Physics Society (HPS). Ce que j’apprécie particulièrement de cette société, et que j’encourage l’ACRP à imiter, est le concept de division, soit un sous-ensemble géographique de la HPS.
