RE: Approval to attend AIHce 2009

I would like your approval to attend the American Industrial Hygiene Conference & Expo (AIHce) scheduled May 30 – June 4, 2009. This conference is a unique opportunity for me to gain the knowledge and insight we need to solve our daily and strategic challenges.

AIHce offers a comprehensive menu of industrial hygiene and environmental health and safety education programs, from science to business management and everything in between. Attached is program information that impressed me as being important to our current and future activities.

I realize our budget is tight this year; however, this conference is a solid investment in our organization that will result in immediate and longer term benefits. I will be able to:

• Increase efficiencies, enhance performance, and increase productivity to help the bottom line, and maximize our investment by sharing information and knowledge with you and our co-workers.
• Network with my peers from all over the country to benchmark and learn what they are doing to solve similar problems and launch innovative solutions.
• See and hear firsthand what our competitors are doing.
• Visit suppliers to find the latest tools to help our organization and save time by having them all in one place at one time.
• Earn points to maintain my professional certifications.

AIHce is truly the best, most comprehensive education investment we can make in our organization all year. Difficult times make it more important than ever that we NOT miss this information and knowledge that can help us build for a better tomorrow.

If I register by April 30, I will save up to$350 in registration fees in addition to securing a lower-priced hotel room.

I hope you support my attendance.

Thank you for consideration.
