Our next dinner meeting will be held in support of the Developing World Outreach Initiative (DWOI). The meeting will start with acknowledgements, announcements, and local section business followed by technical presentations. We will provide an opportunity for open mic after the presentation.

When: Tuesday December 12, 2023 at 5:30 PM

Where: Massimo’s Restaurant, 5200 Mowry Avenue, Suite M, Fremont, CA 94538.

Why: Please join us to learn about some of the initiatives going on with the Developing World Outreach Initiative (DWOI). DWOI was formed to address the lack of adequate industrial hygiene resources for workers and workplace health and safety professionals in developing countries. This event will include a fundraising element to raise money for this worthy cause. Every dollar makes a difference!

Title: Building Bridges: DWOI and International Partners Help Develop IH Skills in a Developing Country 

Description: We will review the support DWOI gave to an Indian NGO (Environics Trust) to collect community air samples near an asbestos plant. We will share how an international collaboration helped their staff succeed and guided them through challenges.

Additional Information:

We have designed the evening to have one cumulative hour of technical content (equivalent to 0.17 CM point for ABIH Diplomates).
