Dear Biosafety Colleagues,
I am very excited to announce that at the August 13, 2010 meeting, the Regional Biosafety Group changed its name to the Front Range Biological Safety Association (FRaBSA), adopted its first by-laws, and elected its first board. Inaugural board members are:
Thank you to all who took part in last week’s meeting; it was very productive and our largest one yet (27 participants)! Congratulations to all the new board members and thank you for your willingness to serve (there was only a little bit of arm twisting involved). The next FRaBSA meeting is tentatively scheduled for the 1st week in November and will be hosted in Denver. We will let you know the specifics once they become available.
Best regards,
Christy
