Treasurer - Rick Foote

Rick Foote was a past member of the Board of Directors with over 20 years experience in regulatory environmental health and safety compliance, permitting and training. I have been a Certified General Practice Toxic Use Reduction Planner (TURP) since the mid 1990s and am also certified to review Environmental Management System (EMS) for TUR compliance.

V.P. of Programming - Henry W. Nowick

Henry W. Nowick

Henry W. Nowick has been both an active proponent and a charter member of the TURPA BOD since its inception. My only interest in continuing service as a TURPA Director is to assure that all Toxic Use Reduction Planners, both general and limited, have a voice in the previously established purposes, objectives, bylaws and collective vision of the organization. I have no intention of using this position for either personal or political advantage.

I am a registered member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the National Environmental Safety, Health Training Association (NESHTA) where I serve as a Certified Environmental Trainer (CET). I am also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where I teach Chemical & Environmental Technology and Air Quality Management.

As the current TURPA Program Chair my responsibility is to arrange membership meetings worthy of both TURP recertification credit and of broadening experience to the membership. With your vote I hope to continue in this capacity.
