2017 Air Quality Management Conference

Transcription

1 2017 Air Quality Management Conference Tuesday, October 17, 2017 Drury Lane Conference Center 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois The Air & Waste Management Association Lake Michigan States Section is pleased to once again offer the Midwest s most comprehensive annual program on air quality management issues. The LMSS s Air Quality Management conference has become a tradition in the region bringing together environmental professionals from the industry, government, environmental services, legal and NGO communities to learn about the key current issues and most important developments in this rapidly-evolving field. With the execution of numerous Executive Orders over the last six months, the Trump administration unquestionably has changed the face of air quality and climate change regulation in the United States. As a consequence, the relationship between federal and state environmental agencies is likely to change. Such sweeping change creates regulatory uncertainty, and companies must find ways of addressing that lack of certainty when running their businesses. In addition, third party citizen enforcement may increase to fill perceived enforcement gaps. In spite of this uncertainty, entities still must comply with existing regulations. Clearly, it is critical for all environmental professionals to stay abreast of these rapidly-occurring changes and understand how the changes can affect their organizations and/or their clients. Please join us on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at our Annual Air Quality Management Conference being held at the Drury Lane Conference Center in Oakbrook Terrace. Companies that supply products and services for environmental management will have exhibits on display at the conference. Sponsorship opportunities also are available. For information on exhibiting or sponsorship, please contact Robin Pelsis at (847) or robin.pelsis@lmawma.org. Co-Sponsors: Check out our website at: for updates to this conference brochure.
