This was my first official meeting as an ICP CAB member.

It was nice to meet in person and start getting to know everyone on the board. The members all have different backgrounds and I truly enjoy gaining an education not only regarding the INL and the Cleanup Project but also in the different areas of expertise the board members come with. A variety of knowledge and perceptions is helpful in figuring out ways to better the board but also support the Cleanup and the affected communities.

The work out there on the desert provides many opportunities to Idahoans and their families and I'm proud to be a part of a group that wants to see success for the health of workers, communities, the state and the environment!

I am looking forward to continue expanding my knowledge and spreading that to my community.
