Web Site Advertising / Sponsorship Policy and Guidelines

The International Society of Nurses in Genetics (ISONG), Inc. welcomes advertising and sponsorship from organizations and companies that provide products or services of interest to our membership. This document explains the pricing and procedures for advertising on the ISONG web site and listserv.

Web Site Advertising

Opportunities for advertising are divided into four primary categories:

  • Education Opportunities and Resources

  • Job Opportunities
  • Research Recruitment

1. Education Opportunities and Resources

ISONG believes it is important for members to have access to information about educational programs, continuing education, and instructional resources that will improve members’ knowledge and skills in genetics nursing. Likewise, ISONG wants to provide its members access to offerings which solicit abstracts for presentation of ISONG members’ work. The Education Opportunities and Resources page will contain links to information about genetics nursing related conferences, workshops, graduate programs, certificate programs, web-based educational offerings, multimedia instructional tools and teaching resources, and other associated content. There are 2 options for advertising under the Education Opportunities and Resources category.
