Pace Analytical® Chief Compliance Officer to Honor the 50th Anniversary of the EPA at the National Environmental Monitoring Conference
Judy Morgan of Pace and NEMC organizer Jerry Parr to deliver a keynote on the history of the EPA August 6th.
Minneapolis, MN, August 4, 2020
Pace Analytical Services, LLC, the largest American-owned laboratory network providing environmental and life sciences testing and analytical information and services, will participate in recognizing 50 years of accomplishments by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the upcoming National Environmental Monitoring Conference (NEMC) on August 6, 2020.
Judy Morgan, Pace Analytical Chief Compliance Officer, will deliver the NEMC keynote with Jerry Parr, the event’s organizer and Executive Director of the NELAC Institute/TNI, a non-profit organization driving environmental lab data and quality standards. “I am beyond honored to be asked to present this year along with Jerry Parr, who I admire greatly for his profound impact on the environmental lab testing industry”, Morgan comments. The pair’s keynote, A History of EPA Regulations and How They Created the Environmental Testing Industry, will highlight environmental milestones and disasters that formed the EPA we all rely on to ensure safe drinking water, clean air, and oversight of environmental hazards.
“The Pace Environmental Sciences Division would not be in business today if not for the EPA”, notes Morgan. “All of our environmental lab services are in compliance with and/or resulting from an EPA action.” Morgan, who has spent over 25 years working closely with the EPA and other governing bodies on environmental concerns, was the recipient of the esteemed Dr. Charlie W. Carter Award at last years’ NEMC for her work towards advancing the environmental testing industry through critical scientific expertise and support.
In addition to the keynote, Morgan will chair Operational and Advocacy Issues Impacting the Environmental Laboratory Industry, a series of virtual presentations at NEMC on August 19, 2020.
NEMC is the largest conference in North America focused on environmental measurements. This year NEMC will be virtual, with over 175 sessions on topics related to environmental monitoring, analytical chemistry, laboratory operations and management, and PFAS contaminants. Presentations will be delivered on weekdays from August 3-21. Conference registration and session information are available at nemc.us.
