Folks,
I am trying to summarize all of our Division's participation in Regional
Meetings this year - 2011.
Would you pass back to me any presentation or workshop that you offered at
a regional meeting this year, so that I can compile this in our annual
report for the Division.
Thanks.

SWRM 2011 =96 CHAS
Programming Summary
CHAS programming at SWRM 2011 included a half-day symposium,
Lab Waste Management Workshop, and CHO Workshop (details below).We offered =93guest=94 meeting registration ($20)
for non-ACS members that wanted to attend the workshops which also allowed them
access to the technical symposium and other meeting events. I emailed a flyer and invitation to
participate to EHS departments at The University of Texas at Austin, St. Edward=92s
University, and Texas State, as well as AIHA, ASSE, and SESHA local sections
within the four-state Southwest Region (~200 emails were sent). Gruene Environmental Construction donated $1,000
in support of the symposium which allowed me to reimburse many speaker
expenses. I filled 3 of the 24 booths in our
expo with safety-related vendors: Gruene Enviromental Construction, Lab Safety
Supply, and Flow Sciences.
Attendance & Revenue:
Symposium: 25 attendees
Lab Waste: 9 attendees **At_Symbol_Here** $199.00 = $1,791.00
CHO: 13 attendees **At_Symbol_Here** $325.00 = $4,225.00
