awards. Posters are also eligible

several committees. For poster sub-

Technical Programs Need You
Many weekday sessions, especially EHS Crossover Programs,
need assistance. Moderators and monitors are essential to
make these sessions run smoothly. Volunteers can contribute to the success of the conference and still attend sessions
that interest them. To see a list of these programs, visit the
technical sessions page on the AIHce website: http://bit.ly/
aihcetechnicalsessions.
To volunteer, contact Eileen Scherzinger at
(703) 846-0753 or escherzinger@aiha.org.
Volunteers will receive confirmation, and their
names will be added to the final program listing
and session roster. Please note that volun-
teers will not receive CEU or CM points for
assisting in these sessions.
This is a wonderful opportunity for students and professionals who want to get
involved.
