SEJ bylaws preclude from membership persons who engage in lobbying or public relations work relating to environmental issues and preclude from ACTIVE membership persons whose employer engages in lobbying or public relations work relating to environmental issues.

SEJ defines lobbying as professional work primarily designed to influence legislation or government regulations. SEJ defines public relations as professional work on behalf of an organization, institution or business that promotes its views on issues affecting the organization, institution or business. It often involves issuing press releases to the media or other forms of outreach.

If yes, we regret that you are not eligible for membership in SEJ. You are, however, welcome to subscribe to SEJ's quarterly newsletter, SEJournal, and to attend annual conferences at a special subscriber's discount rate.
