Working GroupsCHE Partners and staff have formed several initiatives -- working groups, listservs, regional groups and a training program -- based on specific issues relating to environmental connections to health. What are CHE working groups and listservs?CHE working and regional groups are led by one or more CHE Partners who are willing to take a leadership role in the group. You must be a CHE Partner in order to join CHE working groups, regional groups and listservs. Activities of a working or regional group typically involves periodic conference calls with leading scientists addressing topics of interest and concern to the group, as well as email interaction via the group's listserv, and possibly additional opportunities that serve the goals of the particular group. Activities of a working group are primarily driven by the time, energy, experience and expertise of the Partners who join, as well as access to funding for working group activities. CHE provides administrative support to all working group activities. All working groups include an active listserv where Partners can post new science and dialogue with one another about issues of concern. For some working groups, the listserv is their primary activity (as listed below). If any working group functioning primarily as a listserv wants to expand its activities, active working group Partners are welcome to email info@healthandenvironment.org to discuss the possible coordination of additional group activities, such as teleconferences with leading scientists, in-person events or the publication of materials.
Each group is listed below, with links for more details and descriptions. If you are interested in joining one of our groups and are currently a CHE Partner, please contact us at info@healthandenvironment.org. Also please take a moment to read the working group listserv guidelines—CHEtiquette—below. Feel free to direct any questions about the time commitments or group focus to the working or regional group coordinator. If you have an idea for a new working group, please contact Elise Miller, CHE director, at elise@healthandenvironment.org.

Working groups with a listserv as a primary activity:Note: if a Partner or group of Partners wants to suggest or spearhead an activity beyond any of the groups' listservs listed below CHE is interested in hearing from you. Please email info@healthandenvironment.org with your ideas and availability to assist with implementation of new activities.

Trainings and WorkshopsEnvironmental Health Primary Prevention Trainings CHEtiquette -- A few words about CHE listservsCHE is designed to be a safe and constructive space for all CHE Partners to work collectively to raise the level of public and professional dialogue about the emerging science in environmental health and the impact of environmental contaminants on health. The breadth of the CHE Partnership, and its deep commitment to civility and mutual respect, make CHE unique. Civility and mutual respect are the essential elements that safeguard the breadth of CHE and are key elements for a happy and healthy listserv. CHEtiquette on our unmoderated working group listervs involves more than civility. Below are some guidelines for participating in CHE listservs.
