KARIN COYLE, PhD, JOINS SIECUS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Service That Makes a Difference
ETR values partnerships
and service to the field.
Karin Coyle, PhD, Senior Research Scientist, has
recently joined the Board of Directors for the
Sexuality Information and Education Council of
the United States (SIECUS). Her first board meeting
coincided with SIECUS’ grand 50th anniversary
celebration. Here are some of her observations
about this new opportunity.
“
I’m excited about joining in the work of SIECUS. They advocate for
the right of people across the lifespan to have access to high-quality
comprehensive sexuality education, accurate information to support
sexual health and well-being, and access to sexual health services.
”
“
The SIECUS mission is very complimentary to ETR’s work and
mission—and to the work of others in the sexual and reproductive
health field. SIECUS is out there all the time, lobbying to see that funds
are available for meaningful research, advocating to see informed
policies put into place, and offering sound information to providers,
researchers, parents, teachers and the general public. This work sets
a strong base that people can use to promote and build programs in
sexual and reproductive health.
”
“
I’m looking forward to meeting new collaborators and
establishing new partnerships. I’m pleased to be closer to some
of the cutting-edge policy work occurring in the sexual and
reproductive health arena. I’m thrilled to be joining a group
of people who are so passionate about the need to make a
difference in sexual and reproductive health for all ages.
