Top 3 Reasons To Be a
Registered Environmental Health Professional

  1. Professional credentials are one way of demonstrating your earned expertise and validating your credibility. It is a way of telling your clientele that your training and experience have enabled you to answer their questions and to improve their safety. In a time of continuous budget-cutting, it is important for our clientele to know that you have the broad-base expertise important to community and individual health and safety.
  2. Professional credentials are a way of expressing your commitment to achieving your personal best for the clientele you serve. Credentials proclaim that you care, that you are on the leading edge of your profession and that you endeavor to stay current on emerging issues in environmental health through continuing education.
  3. The Georgia Board of Registered Environmental Health Professionals is a growing, mentoring body. It offers the environmental health professional opportunities for continuing education, responsible leadership, and job growth. Credentials make you more marketable, affording better flexibility, mobility and job security. Position upgrades for environmental health professionals are slowly being implemented throughout the state, partially as a result of the work of this Board. Getting the credential is just the first step. We have a lot of work to do, and we need every environmental health professional's participation to make environmental health in Georgia the best it can be.
