Environmental Forums Leadership Group
With increasing pressures from society on environmental issues and major changes in regulations there continues to be a growing need from the ACR membership for information on how to deal with these challenges. Starting in 1998, the ACR formed a working group to put on an “Environmental Forum” to showcase and have discussions on key environmental issues. This committee continues to host presentations from regulators on future direction as well as from companies on how they are adapting.
