Statewide Annual Used Oil Recycling and Household Hazardous Waste Conference 2007 Workshops: Used Oil/HHW |
|
|
April 18-19, 2007 As you may have heard, we did things a bit differently this year by offering these two-day workshops in lieu of our traditional week-long Used Oil/HHW conference. We believed this would have achieved two goals; first, we encouraged our own staff, grantees, and stakeholders to attend and participate in the national NAHMMA conference to be held in California in the Fall of 2007 by not scheduling a week-long competing event within six months of the NAHMMA conference. The workshops offered sessions on grant-writing, targeted outreach, and what to be prepared for in an audit. We were also privileged to have Dr. John Francis as a guest speaker. After witnessing an oil spill in San Francisco Bay in 1971, Dr. Francis chose to make a statement about oil use by not riding in motorized vehicles for seventeen years and becoming a nationally known expert on oil issues. Says Dr. Francis: "I believe that all of us who use oil have a responsibility for all of the pollution it causes…not just the oil companies." If you are a Used Oil Block Grantee, you may charge authorized expenses related to this trip to your Block Grant. Check with your grant manager for details. Workshop registration and general information is now available!
