The Auditing Roundtable Fall 2010 Meeting, Exposition, and Training
“The Changing Climate for EHS Auditing”
The Auditing Roundtable (AR), a professional association dedicated to the practice of Environmental, Health & Safety, and Sustainability (EHSS) Auditing, announces “The Changing Climate for EHS Auditing” as the theme of their Fall 2010 meeting, to be held September 8 – 10 in Philadelphia, PA.
The AR announces three keynote speakers for our meeting. Richard Fairfax, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA will discuss the reinvigoration of OSHA and the role of auditing. Samantha Phillips Beers, Director Enforcement, Compliance and Environmental Justice at USEPA Region 3 will review the status of agency enforcement and how enforcement brings about change in the regulated community. Carol Collier, Executive Director of the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) will explain the breakthrough thinking that created the DRBC and prompt us for some novel ways of thinking and controls that will be needed for the future to effectively deal with the challenges of climate change, water usage, energy needs and our economy.
Auditing programs must adapt as quickly as business in general in order to remain relevant. What changes are your colleagues implementing to remain relevant? What strategies are they employing to improve and support their business objectives? What tools would make your job more efficient? These are the issues to be discussed at the Fall Meeting of The Auditing Roundtable, the oldest and largest organization of professional EHSS and management systems auditors. Hear how others are assessing sustainability information as part of their EHS compliance and management systems audits. Find out how others are coordinating self-assessment activity with their corporate auditing programs.
Through plenary sessions, exhibits, interest groups, industry roundtables and training and CEU courses, the Auditing Roundtable is the place for obtaining information and exchanging ideas. Two CEU courses will be offered on Tuesday September 7, 2010. Thea Dunmire (ENLAR Compliance Services) will lead a course on the role of Ethics in EHS Auditing and the other short course will focus on Root Cause Analysis and be led by Dr. Randy Roig (Specialty Technical Consultants).
Be there so that you can be a part of the changes that help your organization improve and achieve success.
