A Message from the ARSC President

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Safe New Year!
It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve as the ARSC President in 2010. 

For ARSC to be successful, I believe that ARSC Member Councils must adhere to these fundamental organizational and service principles;

• Servicing the local industrial and contractor community
• Providing excellence in the educational and training process
• Ensuring legal compliance and personnel surety
• Protecting the council’s assets
• Adhering to the by-laws and guidelines of the organization

As I review our 2010 accomplishments, I’m impressed that we achieved some much;

1. Delivered an upgraded Basic Orientation Plus and Basic Orientation Plus Refresher programs
2. Delivered the Bloodborne Pathogen reciprocal training program
3. Redesigned the ARSC web page
4. Quarterly Newsletter – first newsletter to be published in January 2011
5. Spanish version of the BOPR – to be delivered in the first quarter of 2011
6. Program development process – while this idea is still in the development stage and the process should be delivered in 2011

As ARSC moves into 2011, I look forward to serving on the Executive Committee and assisting our new President, Adam Micun.  I hope you will join me to make 2011 a successful year for ARSC.
