Dear Subscriber,
Last week we joined thousands of our colleagues at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Expo in Denver, where I presented my paper on EHS capacity building that originally appeared in the May issue of Industrial Safety & Hygiene news. John Henshaw of Henshaw & Associates was on our panel "Training/Certification
Models for Global Occupational Hygiene Professionals" and brought up an interesting goal which I'd like to briefly share with you. While discussing the challenge of training and recruiting industrial hygienists, Henshaw proposed a push for 10,000 more industrial hygienists by 2020, which in terms of prevention could save 10 million lives. Overall, the conference was an excellent opportunity to network and discuss the
issues affecting the industrial hygiene and EHS industries.
In this issue of our monthly newsletter, you will find an article sharing tips for using social media to network at events. Also included is an article on sustainability consulting that was one of the most highly read pieces on the popular environmental news site, Triple Pundit. The article discusses the trend of consultants joining networks and spotlights our new Inner Circle program as a case study. Lastly, in addition to several news articles of interest, you will find updates on our new Inner Circle program as well as the course I am directing in Shanghai later this month. For further information and more frequent updates, please follow The Phylmar Group on social media.
