Thank you to our Program Partner:

Rhode Island Society of Environmental Professionals (RISEP)

This EBC Rhode Island leadership program will feature Director Terry Gray and the chiefs of the key offices at the Bureau of Environmental Protection in the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). Terry Gray’s keynote presentation will introduce each chief, their program responsibilities, and provide an update on what is new at RIDEM. The office chiefs will hold a series of panel presentations on “hot topics” ranging from PFAS to upcoming changes to site remediation regulations. With much of the decision making at the Department of Environmental Management taking place at the office level, this EBC Rhode Island webinar provides a unique opportunity to understand the challenges and concerns of the leadership of the offices.

Join us for an informative and lively conversation with the key RIDEM decision makers as they discuss ongoing and future programs strategies and challenges.

General Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (3.0 training contact hours). Certificates are automatically provided via email link for registered attendees one hour after the conclusion of the program.
