Staying Involved in the Environmental Community:

Babcock Labs attends multiple conferences over the past few months

     The end of summer marks the beginning of quite a few conferences in the industry. Within the past two months, Babcock staff members have participated in several including those held by the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), the National Environmental Monitoring Conference (NEMC) and The NELAC Institute (TNI), and the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA).

     "We want to hear about the latest developments in the NELAC regulations and to learn about upcoming environmental monitoring technology," said Laboratory Director of Operations Susie Thomas in reference to Babcock's attendance at the NEMC and TNI Environmental Measurement Symposium this past August. "We are also able to voice our opinion and participate in the process of changing and shaping the TNI regulations that affect us directly.  Several of our staff serve on TNI committees which have met over the course of the year via teleconference.  These committees hold sessions during the conference to report on their progress, get input, and complete tasks necessary for moving forward." TNI is the organization that facilitates Babcock Labs' certification program and its technical and methodological seminars are both valuable and constructive.  To view the rest of the article click here .
