Programs Committee goes on Summer Retreat to Concentrate on Future Meetings - No June Meeting

August meeting: Big NCC-ACHMM Terrorism Seminar to be held August 11, 12, or 13th.

Set aside these dates as the Programs Committee firms up a panel of speakers ranging from Medical Effects of Biological Warfare to Homeland Vulnerability Analyses.  If the Terror Alert Level is below "Orange" we could have a demonstration by the Civilian Support Teams, a highly trained unit of the National Guard based in Hayward.


October Meeting:  Cargill Salt Restoration Program, Newark.  Come tour the salt flats and hear leading biologists explain the restoration issues.

December Meeting:  NCC-ACHMM Recognitions Dinner and Annual Wine tasting.  Information will soon follow on nominating peers for excellence in Northern California Hazardous Materials Management (one does not have to be a CHMM to receive award). Also, winner of soon-to-be-announced NCC-ACHMM logo contest will be honored.

Other Activities
For those interested in climate change, please see the announcement from PIBA regarding a presentation on the topic on July 9, 2003.
