From the desk of the President, 2007

 

Dear Membership and Interested Individuals:

 

Greetings everyone!  I hope you are all having an excellent year.  I am happy to report that the Georgia ACHMM Chapter is having another successful year!   At the recent National ACHMM Conference in Washington, DC, the GA ACHMM Chapter received a total of six awards!  Our chapter was honored with the Honor Roll of Champions Award, and five of our chapter members were recognized as Champions of Excellence.  Congratulations to Keith Cole, Brian Cook, Tara McCullen, Michael Verdon, and David Wheeler!  Thank you for your commitment to ACHMM and for making the Georgia Chapter a leader among all chapters nationally! 

 

I am also pleased to announce that we have added a new Scholarship Subcommittee under the Outreach Committee.   The purpose of this committee will be to help us set up and manage a scholarship sponsored by GA ACHMM that will be awarded to a college student in the State of Georgia pursuing studies in the field of environmental, health, and safety.  If you would like more information, or you would like to participate on this subcommittee, please contact Scholarship Subcommittee Chair, Tom Harper, or Outreach Committee Chair, Keith Cole.  

 

I am excited about the remainder of 2007, as we still have a number of great events planned.  Our annual CHMM review course is scheduled to be held October 30 – November 2 at Kennesaw State University.  Please remind your colleagues who are interested in gaining the CHMM credential!  Also, our annual HAZWOPER refresher is being planned for December.  Stay tuned for more details.  Our End-of-the-Year Social promises to take the year out with a bang, as always!  We are planning a Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament; we hope that you and your spouse or guest will be able to join us for some fun competition and socializing among friends.

 

Warmest Regards,

 

Tara McCullen

GA ACHMM President
