NEAIHA Past-President's Message- April 2007 Hello all, Just wanted to let you know I have done two outreaches to local high school science classes on the AIHA CD which tells what industrial hygiene is all about. My hats off to the national AIHA on putting together a very interesting and visual 10 minute program that gets teenagers very engaged in this field. You can view the video and find other sources to help inspire young people in the student section of the AIHA website. My visit to the Chelmsford, Mass. High School honors classes in physics, biology, and chemistry classes last week not only produced many questions, but afterwards a student came up to me and said her father was one of the people in the video. Who knew!! Keep up the good work and maybe more local chapters will continue this outreach program to expand and grow this profession. Don Delikat, CIH Past-President NEAIHA NEAIHA Runners Take Honors at AIHA Fun Run NEAIHA members Andy Kalil and Mike Amster won medals at the AIHA 5K Fun Run. Andy took 3rd place in the 45-55 year age group in a time of 20:34 and Mike took 1st place in the 56 and over (we didn't know he was that old?) age group in a time of 23:37. Good job and we hope to see other runners from the Section at next year's run in Minneapolis. On May 10, 2007, NEAIHAs Don Delikat and Corey Briggs (President and President-Elect, respectively) participated with representatives from ASSE, ACHMM, and The Construction Safety Institute in supporting North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) week.
