I've had a chance to update the CHAS web site at http://www.dchas.org with three new items: 1. The CHAS workshop schedule for the Salt Lake City national meetings next March 20 and 21. The workshops being offered are: - Laboratory Waste Management Workshop - Lab Safety Seminar - How to be a More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer - Reactive Chemical Management for Laboratories 2. News on the ACS Divisional Innovative Project grants program Do you have a great idea for a Division activity that needs funding? There are TWO opportunities to apply for Innovative Project grants for 2009=85 one in the Spring (due February 1) and one in the Fall (due July 1). There is a limit of $7500 per grant, up to two totaling no more than $12,500 for each Division. Want to stage a Webinar? Have a great idea for a publication benefiting the Division? Need materials for a National Chemical Week event? Would you like to establish a scholarship for a Safety Undergraduate student? Want to put on an event at a Regional meeting? Here=92s your chance=85.. 3. Survey results A summary of the results of the membership survey we recently completed. I haven't had a chance to throughly review the results and comments yet, but expect to develop a summary of the responses and plan of action based on them early in 2009. Happy Holidays to everyone in CHAS! Stay tuned for an exciting 2009... - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu fax: (802)656-5407
