Greetings to all! NJ AIHA looks forward to another action packed year! This year you'll see professional upgrades to our web site and newsletter which enhance communication and outreach with the I H community. Please check in regularly to review current job postings and area course offerings. We are committed to helping our membership. This year it is NJ AIHA's turn to run the Tri-State Northeast Industrial Hygiene Conference and NJ PDCs and they will both be cutting edge, blockbuster events that you will not want to miss. We continue to seek event sponsors, vendors, and printing/raffle donations.

I wish to acknowledge Jill Asch's high caliber leadership over the past year and her efforts to address the web site, Executive Board membership, event excellence, and student participation. We are blessed to have her with us continuing as Past President. Welcome to new Board Members - Patti Johnson/President Elect, Jack Zybura/Director of Administration, Barbara Woodhull/Treasurer and Barry Schlegel/Webmaster.

Don't miss our next meeting on September 16th at Snuffy's! We have two "state of the art" Bureau Veritas presentations on mold and laboratory analysis protocols, so relevant after this summer's floods. We also thank Bureau Veritas for sponsoring this event. Where else can you get such high quality information and .5 CM for $25? Looking forward to seeing you then!

Please share with us any ideas you have to expand our membership and outreach.
