As announced in December 2015, every member was encouraged to upload or update his/her profile picture on ToXchange. To provide additional incentive to do so by the end of 2015, we launched a year-ending ToXchange profile picture contest. Every Regional Chapter, Special Interest Group, and Specialty Section was automatically entered in the contest with the goal to achieve the highest percentage of members with an uploaded or updated profile picture by January 1, 2016
The Prizes
Component groups with the highest percentage of member profile pictures posted by January 1, 2016, receive an award stipend of $500 as travel support to the SOT Annual Meeting—to be dispersed at the discretion of the component group.
As component groups vary in the number of members, three levels of the competition were defined as follows:
A) Component Groups with up to 150 members.
B) Component Groups with 151–300 members.
C) Component Groups with more than 301 members.
The Winners
“Up to 150 members” Winner: Central States Regional Chapter with 44% of members’ photos uploaded
“Up to 300 members” Winner: Nanotoxicology Specialty Section with 43.30% of members’ photos uploaded
“More than 301 members” Winner: Women in Toxicology Special Interest Group with 37.80% of members’ photos uploaded
Congratulations to these groups!
The following component groups exceeded 40% in members’ photos uploaded:
- Dermal Toxicology Specialty Section
- Hispanic Organization of Toxicologists Special Interest Group
- National Capital Area Regional Chapter
- Ocular Toxicology Specialty Section
