*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

*Laboratory Waste Management Workshop*

*Friday, November 11, 1:30 PM =96 5:00 PM*
*$199*

This course will identify the various regulatory requirements that apply to
laboratories that generate hazardous waste, as well as provide insight into
the options for on-site management and off-site disposal. Focus will
include discussion on recycling/reclamation techniques, economical handling
of wastes, and liability issues.

Presenter: Mr. Russell Phifer
Mr. Phifer has over 30 years experience in managing laboratory wastes for
academic and industrial laboratories; he is immediate past-chair of the ACS
Division of Chemical Health and Safety and a 20 year member of the ACS Task
Force on Laboratory Chemical and Waste Management.

Registration Deadline: October 26, 2011

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*How to be an Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer*

*Saturday, November 12, 8:00 AM =96 4:00 PM*
*$325*

Take a close look at the Chemical Hygiene Officer position, and prepare at
the same time for the "CHO" Certification exam. Mr. Phifer will give a
different slant to safety issues in the laboratory, focusing on what you do
and how you can do it better. The presenter brings a wide variety of
experience to the table, but the real stars of the workshop are you - past
attendees note the interactive approach focusing on their problems, from
getting administrators involved in safety to dealing with regulatory
concerns.

The course covers all of the content areas of the certification exam,
including a sample test in the same format as the real one. Whether you are
a new Chemical Hygiene Officer or an "old" one, you will find something to
put to real use in this fast-paced presentation. You can request an
application packet for the Chemical Hygiene Officer certification
examination by National Registry of Certified Chemists online at
http://www.nrcc6.org.

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.
