On Going…

·         As many of you know a Los Alamos Scholarship has been established by the AIHA Industrial Hygiene Foundation. This scholarship has been awarded in 2008, 2009, and 2010. A member of our Section has offered to match any individual contributions (up to a maximum total of $1,000) contributed to the Los Alamos Scholarship between now and November 15, 2010. Contributions should be mailed directly to: Vicky Yobp, AIHA/IHF, 2700 Prosperity Ave., Suite #250, Fairfax, VA 22031. Your contributions should be identified as specifically directed to the Los Alamos Scholarship. The matching contribution will be sent to AIHA/IHF before the end of 2010.

The Rio Grande Section Board of Directors strongly encourages your contributions since it is in direct support of our profession’s future, and honors the work (past/present/future) that many of us have/will provide to the profession. As an indication of the Boards support for this effort, the Rio Grande Section contributed $1,000 to this Scholarship in 2008.

We realize that this is a time of financial uncertainty, but we hope that many Section members can provide support for this Scholarship since it is directly tied to your profession.
