WI CHMM Welcomes New Leadership

Michael McCoy shares some expectations about his upcoming role as WI CHMM President:  I am looking forward to my term as president of Wisconsin CHMM chapter of FET.  This year we are focusing on growing our membership base, specifically by providing interesting chapter meetings and tours, with networking and social components.  We also are in early preparation for a one-day seminar on Combustible Dust scheduled for early 2012, specifically focusing on the management, testing and regulation of combustible dust. 

I hope to see you at our events, and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any ideas or programs you would value for your professional development. 

Sincerely, Michael McCoy, CIH, CHMM
