Congratulations. Over the last year many people in our section have been active. As most of you know, Albert E. Stewart, Ph.D., CIH, CSP, PE and Samuel Allen Iske, Ph.D., CIH, CSP were selected as Fellows for the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) this Spring. There are only about 220 AIHA fellows worldwide. Considering that AIHA has over 10,600 members this is quite an honor. Our president-elect, John Zey attended the AIHA leadership workshop. Lance Erickson, CIH, CSP, CHMM contributed to AIHA Control Banding publication. Congratulation Lance. I participated in the development and presentation of a very successful AIHA teleweb “Implementing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Decontamination”. Many of our members have and are still currently serving on committees and I want to thank each of you for your efforts. We are very proud with the involvement the UCM students have with our section. They will present program summary and research projects during our April meeting. During this year we were able to successfully mix live presentations and CD presentations of AIHA Teleweb courses. Thanks again for your support and please call me or email me at anytime to discuss your thoughts or comments. ’m sure next year will be more successful under John Zey’s leadership.
