Stephanie Lynch, ISRP President

As a passionate industrial hygienist and educator, I am beyond thrilled to be starting my term as the ISRP President. I believe we are at pivotal point to become an invaluable resource for anyone who wants or needs to use respiratory protection. We absolutely have the expertise, and we just need more involvement. The ISRP needs to grow to be able to share the load, so that will be a central focus of my term. I hope to connect with each section of the ISRP to identify steps forward that are general for the ISRP as a whole and specific to each region. Growth of this Journal will also be critical to raising awareness of the ISRP, our mission, and our value. Past President, Gabriele Troescher, did an amazing job in helping to navigate us post pandemic as Vice-Chair of the 2022 Virtual conference, through to the Oxford conference, my first in-person ISRP conference. A huge thank you to her and to the European Section members who put on a truly enjoyable and valuable conference. A heartfelt thank you also to all of the speakers, vendors, and attendees.

I am pleased to have European Section member, Nicholas Baxter, as my Vice President, and I look forward to working together with the members of Executive Committee to grow the ISRP. I would be remiss if I did not also ask anyone who is interested to throw their hat in for the current position of Secretary, and any Americas Section members in the United States to consider the Treasurer position, along with the future incoming Vice-President in 2026. If those are out of reach, join the Education Committee; I have chaired that committee, so I am a bit biased.

In closing, my main objectives for my presidential term are Expanding the reach of the JISRP, Completing the FACE-UP Project deliverables (if you don’t know about this, then please reach out to me), and increasing membership (especially student membership).

Please let me know if I can be of any service to you as a member of the ISRP.
Respectfully,

Dr. Stephanie Lynch, CIH, CSP
