Subject: ACS Midwest Regional Meeting
Earlier this week I discovered that the above meeting will be held on my
campus Nov 5-7, 2003. The agenda does not include any safety related
sessions. I suspect this is typical for regional meetings and is most
likely due to the fact that no one has proposed a safety session when
the planning for these meetings takes place. As a result, I am taking a
band aid approach to the meeting this November. My staff and I will be
preparing several posters for the Sci-Mix poster session. I would like
to also encourage anyone who is interested in visiting Columbia,
Missouri to likewise submit posters for this meeting (see announcement
at http://www.chem.missouri.edu/MWRM2003), which must be done by Sept.
5. 

 

In addition, I discovered that next year's ACS Midwest Regional Meeting
will be held at Kansas State U. I have already made an initial contact
to see if we can get a safety session on that agenda.

 

I know some DivCHAS members have organized safety symposia and/or
posters for regional and local ACS meetings. I am interested in any
experiences you have had about what worked well and what did not.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have.
