The E-25 Committee on Radon developed a great agenda for the first-ever Virtual Radon Training Event, held October 11 – 13, 2021. There were 162 attendees, 41 states represented, and 47 speakers. Attendance is on average 105 for in person meetings, but due to travel restrictions from federal and state agencies, the number of people that could attend an in-person event was very limited. Transitioning to a virtual training enabled us to reach a larger audience.
The E-25 Committee on Radon put together the speakers and agenda. Chrys Kelley (CO), out-going chair, gave the opening remarks and welcome. Josh Kerber (MN) now serves as chair. Chrys, Brian Giancola (NJ) and Eleanor Divver (UT) were the moderators. Burk and Associates facilitated the training.
A wide range of topics were presented by expert speakers. Included were panel discussions on Low-Income Mitigation Assistance and Environmental Justice, as well as presentations on code change efforts for residential, workplace and school buildings. The American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) held their symposium in person. The Tuesday joint sessions with AARST were also presented in a hybrid format, and CRCPD participants were able to attend those sessions virtually as well.
