Message from the President

Greetings TEHA!

Happy New Year! It is unbelievable that the first month of 2010 has come and gone ALREADY! I have thought for a few years of all the things that I would say in my President’s messages and now that the time is here…where do the words go? Here my thoughts for today: Being a member of TEHA is so much more than just the membership and the continuing education credits. So one might ask: What should it mean?

We are members of the largest Environmental Health organization in the United States, we are 50 plus years old, we are financially stable, and our growth continues. We are amongst the best Environmental Specialists in the World. For these honors to stand-we all need to continue to support our great organization-get involved, share ideas and be grateful of what role TEHA has played in each of our professional and sometimes personal lives. Whether you have been a member 2 months, 2 years, or 20 years…your thoughts and ideas are needed for us to have continued success for ourselves and TEHA-so I know we are all way too busy to commit to another project…but just take a few minutes and think about what you have to offer!

October will be here before we know it and Steve Killeen and his Program Chairmen are all working really hard to put a very nice program together for us! If you have any ideas, requests or have a suggested speaker-please let us know! Be sure and check out the calendar for upcoming meetings and events on the web site.

Just a few last words...”Attitude is an important part of the foundation upon which we build a productive life. A good attitude produces good results, a fair attitude poor results, a poor attitude poor results. We each shape our own life, and the shape of it is determined largely by our attitude.” - M. Russell Ballard
Wishing each of you a year filled with successes, newfound knowledge and a chance to reflect on the differences we do make in other’s lives!
Happy New Year!
Jodie
