Chapter dues provide for our ability to effectively function as a chapter. They allow us to award prizes at the annual science fair, present our organization at local events, volunteer for community functions, and send chapter delegates to national conference.

If you have not paid your chapter dues for 2009 - either directly or through national - please contact Dale at dale@dfwchmm.org.

If you are checking the calendar for the May meeting - sorry, you just missed it. Scott gave us a great educational presentation on REACH regulations. For those of you who attended and were wanting a copy of the handbook that Scott had in-hand, go to : http://www.asd-europe.org/content/Default.asp?PageID=41 and click on REACH guide.

The Chapter would like to make an open call to anyone willing to host a chapter meeting & provide a plant or facility tour to contact us. Our next meeting is scheduled for July 23rd, but we are very willing to reschedule to make it easier on our host. Facility tours are a great way to network between businesses, learn and grow from other professional specialties, and promote your products & services with other folks in similar industries.

A fireworks demolition incident in California. It appears to have been carefully planned; make a pile, light a fire. What could be more simple and safe?

The chapter has switched from its previous, more traditional HTML website format to a dynamic content-management system (CMS) based website.

This new format offers the opportunity for more up-to-date content, a wider variety of features, the ability of chapter members to connect more easily, and to provide focused and relevant information in a more interactive environment.

Our calendar will be updated regularly to reflect upcoming events for the chapter as well as the national schedule, local mixers, professional development opportunities, and other “play-dates” for environmental professionals.

More chapter- and profession-specific information will be developed on the site that will be available to chapter members in good standing. Chapter meeting summaries, relavent web-links,  photos, and additional information on local networking events are just some of the things we are developing in this area. If you are a member in good-standing, use the login in the lower left to see what we’ve got going so far!

A special note of thanks to Danny for helping is out over the past years by faithfully providing us with a great, professional site that brought our chapter to the internet! We appreciate all of your hard work and wish you the best!
