Events CALENDAR

The seminar promotes awareness, education, and the understanding of environmental issues associated with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and provides a forum for people employed in the environmental and safety industries to network, learn, and contribute to the community. Vendors and Sponsors contribute to the Seminar proceeds, which go towards the SAEMS’ Scholarship Fund. Annually, SAEMS awards over $10,000 in scholarships to very deserving college students who are majoring in environmental studies at the University of Arizona.

The Seminar begins with RCRA Basics, and other typical topics presented during the seminar include Governmental Waste Program Updates, Local Emergency Planning Committee Updates, Managing Waste and Disposal Scenarios, Recycling, Waste Minimization to Recycling Optimization, etc.

Presentations are followed by a Question & Answers Session and ends with Door Prizes. A Happy Hour always follows the conference either at the hotel bar or a nearby establishment.

Planned topics and speakers are posted once the conference agenda is finalized.

The SAEMS monthly luncheon meetings are held on the last Wednesday of every month (except when otherwise announced). Every SAEMS luncheon features a keynote speaker on issues important to local businesses and spotlights some of our many professional and non-profit members.

Meetings begin at 11:30 am with networking, and lunch is served promptly at noon as the program gets underway. After the meal, there is additional time to network prior to the featured speaker’s presentation. The meeting concludes by 1:00 pm.

Your meeting fee not only covers your meal cost but funds SAEMS’ community involvement efforts as well as the SAEMS environmental student scholarships.
