ASTM Update – November 2017
Article by Jeri Massengill, CEO
I am glad to report that attendance was up at the recent ASTM E50.02 Subcommittee meetings held in October. Why did we have a great turnout?
- Outreach by our hard working ASTM Task Group Chairs and Officers to recruit new members and encourage current members to become more active.
- Discussions have begun regarding possible revisions to the extensively used E1527 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard.
- The E50 Social – A fun get-together with ASTM colleagues to relax and exchange ideas over drinks and appetizers.
- The New Orleans Experience – Great food, music and people watching make for a great diversion after a long day in ASTM meetings!
