A Brief Note from your President-Elect
Just a few weeks until our spring conference, March 17-19 at the BSU Student Union Building. We're excited to have Nelson Fabina, executive Director of NEHA, deliver our keynote address on Wednesday morning. We have concurrent sessions planned, which encompass onsite wasterwater, food safety and protection, children's environmental health issues, solid waste, environmental health research, and a general topics session sovering everything from mercury and fish adviories to the new lead rule, brownfields, and more! For those traveling in from outside the Boise area, we have once again reserved a block of rooms at the Safari Inn. The conference is a great way to pick up some CEUs towards your REHS credential--and to network with colleagues from around the state.
Hope to see you there,
Bob Erickson
