All -

The General Chair of SERMACS 2019 (October 20 - 23, Savannah, GA) is looking to include safety in the programing.å I am unable to offer a workshop of organize a symposium due to prior commitments for NSTA.å

To me from Will Lynch - General Chair

Hello from Savannah Georgia - I am the general chair of SERMACS 2019 and am working with Brent Feske who is the program chair of SERMACS 2019 in Savannah to build a robust and broad program for our members this October. SERMACS has a large footprint, generally bringing in 1500-2000 attendees.å å

I wanted to reach out to you to see if you could offer some suggestions or assistance for our meeting as we would like to include Health and Safety into our program.å That might include technical programs and or any available workshops that you might recommend.å So, could you take a few minutes to help us out with some insight below:

1. We are looking for an individual or individuals who might be willing to help organize programming at our meeting, can you recommend someone (or perhaps you might even be willing) in the SE that we can reach out to?
2. Do you know individuals who are in the SE who might be good candidates to present at our meeting?
3. Does the division or the ACS committee on chemical safety have any workshop activities that have been successful at regional meetings or that you might recommend we try.
4. Anything else you can think of to comment on or suggest we think about in building health and safety into our program.

Cheers, I really appreciate any time and suggestions you might be able to help us out with.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a Regional Conference to include safety into programing.å There is money available from SERMACS and I am sure Will would be happy to speak with anyone interested in doing this.

Please contact me off the list at sigmannsb**At_Symbol_Here**appstate.edu and I will provide you the contact information and/or put you in touch with Will.

Thanks!
Sammye
