Planning now underway for the 32nd Annual Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Workshop:
Fellow Responders,
The Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Committee is excited to let you know that planning for the 32nd Annual Workshop to be held September 7 – 10, 2021, is in full swing. While we continue to closely monitor COVID-19 related developments by watching infection trends, evaluating Local, State and Federal budget constraints, and following news of vaccine progress, we are optimistic that conditions will be favorable to provide a successful Workshop in 2021. The Committee is focused on bringing you lessons learned from response during the pandemic and has reached out to instructors and exhibitors to incorporate COVID-19 related topics where applicable. Watch for further information and updates via our Newsletter, the Website and Email in the coming months.
Thank you again for standing on the frontline as you serve the public. We hope that you and your families continue to stay safe and healthy.
Thank you,
The Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Committee
