Voting Procedure
AEA membership is by organization. Our bylaws state that each member organization
shall have a voting delegate. The voting delegate is the main contact person listed in
the AEA directory. This is usually the executive director -- or could be a commissioner,
superintendent. For associate members, it is the person who is our primary liaison, a
partner, a vice president, as indicated to us when you join. Those of you who are voting
delegates have a yellow ribbon indicating this attached to your badges. If you have that
ribbon, you are eligible to vote.
This presentation looks at the top-level issues and then goes into some
detail about the methods of detection. The presentation is designed to
help decision makers determine, how, where and what is necessary for a
safe working environment
The Department of Community Affairs, Division of Local Government
Services offers expert advice and assistance to municipalities through
its Local Assistance Bureau (LAB). Team members who have expertise
in a wide array of local government matters travel around the state
and interact with municipal officials to provide analysis, best practices and support on all
aspects of municipal governance. Presenter Michele Meade will advise attendees on how to
access the program and what a great resource it can be.
Safety education in wastewater and solid waste is of critical importance. The responsibility
falls on everyone from executive director to frontline employees. This presentation will
discuss losses, near misses, requirements, safety committee and what we can do collectively
to keep our industry safe. Annual training, review of written plans and communication
amongst our internal staff can help yield the best results. At the end of the day, we want
everyone to get home safely, and we should work together to make that happen
This presentation will cover commonly cited hazards as well as information on how to request the free and helpful resources to assist your market sector to reduce or eliminate potential for preventable loss, help employers identify and correct hazards in the workplace which could cause injury or illness to workers, and could lead to fines, penalties, and insurance increases for employers.
