The New England Section’s June meeting was held at our traditional location, Anthony’s Pier 4 in Boston, Massachusetts.  The meeting was held in conjunction with the New England Chapter of the Auditing Roundtable.  The speakers this year were Kerry Ann Jaggassar, ENVIRON International Corporation, and Dr. Charles Redinger, Redinger EHS.  Jaggassar spoke about “Organizing and Managing Industrial Hygiene Data” and explained the challenges and lessons learned when implementing data software to manage industrial hygiene data.  Dr. Redinger gave an “Update from the ISO World: How Upcoming Changes May Affect Industrial Hygienists, EHS Professionals, and Auditing Professionals.”  He reviewed ISO standards applicable to environmental and occupational safety and health professionals.  He also provided an update on the changes taking place at AIHA in "Discussion on the AIHA's 2011-2015 Strategic Planning Process."  Copies of the presentations are available on the Meeting Presentations tab of the NEAIHA website.
