The Chapter had a busy end of year 2021! We were thrilled to award two environmental scholarships to two deserving students and a CHMMunity Grant to SCARCE, an organization working toward sustainable communities. We enjoyed a tour of SCARCE’s Reuse facility, and we were able to hold our final chapter meeting of the year in person at Schnitzel Platz, where we enjoyed authentic German cuisine. We also elected a new board of fine individuals to lead the Chapter in 2022.

Events in Chapter History
The Institute of Hazardous Materials Managers founded the Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers in 1985 to foster networking and educational opportunities. Originally the Academy was a part of the Institute, a position which is unusual among professional membership organization and the certification programs they support. In 1995, the Academy incorporated as a separate organization although it remains closely affiliated with the Institute. The Academy changed its name to the Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals (AHMP) in 2008 to better promote the advancement of all in the hazardous materials management field.
