Mangold Award Letter to NEHA Members
Dear Colleagues,
When you entered the environmental health field, others were there to
“show you the ropes.” Over the years, some of these individuals became
your mentors. You may have looked up to them because of their dedication
and innovative approaches to solving problems. A special few of
these individuals demonstrated how to implement lasting change within
environmental health at the national and international levels. They
not only “talked the talk,” but also “walked the walk.” In reflecting on
these exceptional individuals, you have taken the first step of deciding
whom to nominate for the Walter S. Mangold Award, the highest honor
bestowed by the National Environmental Health Association. When we
recognize this person, we not only honor this individual, but also honor
and recognize all of the environmental health professionals who help
make our communities healthy and safe.
The Mangold Award Committee wants to ensure that individuals
who make lasting contributions to environmental health are
considered for NEHA’s highest honor. While an individual who
performs outstanding service to his or her community is typically
recognized by a local award, the Walter S. Mangold Award recognizes
an individual’s environmental health service to the nation.
The nomination in itself is so unique that it is a wonderful tribute
to the person to be nominated by his/her peers. The standards for
this award are naturally high, but receiving the award is the ultimate
recognition from one’s peers and NEHA.
If you know of an exceptional environmental health professional
who meets the award criteria, please nominate him/her for
the distinct honor of being associated with the Walter S. Mangold
Award. Please ensure that in the nominating material you include
current letters and supporting documents from distinguished individuals
that articulate the individual’s exceptional accomplishments
within environmental health. The committee’s decisions are
based entirely on the written documentation and not on personal
knowledge of the candidates.
To nominate a candidate for the Walter S. Mangold Award, contact
your local chapter of the National Environmental Health Association
and ask how to carry out this task. In addition, any five
NEHA members may nominate a person for the award. You can find
out more information on this award by visiting the NEHA Web site,
www.neha.org. The deadline for this award is March 15, 2011.
I wish to personally thank each of you for your tireless efforts to
make the field of environmental health science a working reality.
Your contributions have saved innumerable people from becoming
ill or injured and have reduced their chances of untimely deaths.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hank Koren, REHS
Chairperson, Walter S. Mangold Awards Committee
Prof. Emeritus, Indiana State University

Larry Marcum Celebrates 20 Years With NEHA
Editor’s note: This October, Larry Marcum,managing director of research
and development and government affairs,celebrated 20 years with NEHA.
JEH took this opportunity to ask him
to impart some wisdom about his time
at NEHA and views on the environmental
health profession.
JEH: These days, 20 years is a long time to work for one place. Why
have you stayed at NEHA for as long as you have?
LM: That was certainly not the plan when I first accepted this position.
Over time as NEHA grew and my responsibilities here increased,
I found this position to really be the culmination of so many of my
personal and professional interests. Prior to attending law school, I
earned my master’s degree in public administration with an emphasis
on environmental policy. My master’s thesis was on the Colorado
water allocation system, and my first job out of graduate school was
with the Wyoming Department of Health. I administered a statewide
grant program, building the emergency medical services programs in
many communities across the state. My point is, I have had a lifelong
interest in environmental and public health issues. I was drawn to the
opportunity to pursue those interests here at NEHA.
I was particularly drawn to this position because it offered a
chance to work in the world of nonprofit nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs). It is such a unique work setting and in many ways
blends some of the better aspects of public and private employment
settings. NGOs are an interesting hybrid of the two and offer a work
environment that most people never experience. I found this environment
to be particularly well suited to my temperament and my
interests. I was originally in private law practice in Colorado. When
the position opened at NEHA I realized that I had an opportunity to
plug back into the public health and environmental health interests
I care about while using my law degree, which has been tremendously
helpful in many aspects of my work here. As is often the case,
over time your position becomes what you are willing to put into
it—and make it. I have had the freedom to incorporate so many of
my interests and passions here at NEHA. Why 20 years? I have come
to have a deep appreciation for the environmental health profession
and the individuals we serve. I believe in the environmental health
professionals that are out there everyday, doing—sometimes under
very difficult circumstances—the work that contributes so much to
the health and quality of life in our country. I find the work I do in
supporting them to be tremendously gratifying.
JEH: Describe how things have changed from the time you started
working for NEHA until now. Are you surprised by any of the changes
that have taken place, or by the direction and/or growth of the organization
over the past 20 years?
LM: For me, this question gets at the fun part of the story. When
I look back at the organization for which I started working some
20 years ago, and compare it to the NEHA of today, the two organizations
are not even comparable; NEHA has changed that much.
When I started in the fall of 1990, we had a staff of six people and
a budget of less than $1 million. Now we have a staff of almost 30
and a budget of $7 million. That kind of growth doesn’t happen
by accident. A tremendous amount of work, thought, and strategy
has gone into building NEHA into what it is today. It has been both
exciting and terrifically gratifying to see NEHA become an influential
and successful organization over these 20 years. Having the
advantage of seeing firsthand this growth trajectory we have been
on is an experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything.
When you reflect on anything in your life that spans a time period
of 20 years, you really need a sense of context to fully understand
and appreciate those events. Well, I have had a front row seat on
that journey, and its been a great ride. Am I surprised? The honest
answer is “not really.” I don’t say that with any sense of false pride or
arrogance. It’s just that I always had a keen sense of the importance
of environmental health and how truly vital the work is of the membership
we serve. When you combine that important work with the
strategic vision that our staff and leadership have for NEHA, good
things happen. I also have to note how well managed the association
is, which is attributable to our executive director, our senior
management team, and of course our board of directors. We have
had well-defined goals, the right kind of leadership, and a dynamic
profession, so the growth we have witnessed, the programs we have
built, the influence we have obtained, and the financial success we
have enjoyed are all outcomes that I knew would occur. I don’t say
that to diminish the hard work that has gone into building that success,
but with the support of our membership, our partners in the
various federal agencies we work with, and the important relationships
we enjoy with the private sector and academic institutions, we
really positioned NEHA to become that organization that it is today.
It is just wonderful to see at this point in my career.
JEH: What do you consider to be the most significant or surprising
environmental health event to occur over the last 20 years?
LM: I don’t think that you can point to a single event. A number
of significant events have happened to our country and have impacted
our profession over the last 20 years. Rather than isolating
an event or a particular point in time, I would say that the evolution
of environmental health in general has been the most significant
event. When I began my career at NEHA, environmental health was much more
compartmentalized and much more confined to traditional disciplines within the
field, such as food safety, wastewater treatment and drinking water quality,
vector control, and ambient and indoor air quality. Although those are still
important, and certainly remain at the core of environmental health, I think
that the expansion of the list of things that comprise environmental health is quite significant. I have seen the definition of environmental
health grow to allow the profession to make a more meaningful
contribution in areas that would not have even been considered
a concern for a practitioner in this field 20 years ago.
For instance, the host of issues that can be captured under the
heading of climate change, sustainability, and community planning
are great examples of cutting edge issues for which the environmental
health profession has a significant role to play that
would not have been appreciated or even understood 10 years
ago. Defining and recognizing that role is just now coming into
focus. Emergency response is another issue that is expanding the
definition and pushing the parameters of what it means to be an
environmental health professional. The health tracking program
and the national effort to link environmental exposure to human
health outcomes is yet another example of the expansion of environmental
health practice. All of these are fresh, cutting edge
examples of how the profession has grown and areas in which
the profession can contribute to the nation’s health as a whole.
I think these are enormously positive developments that ensure
environmental health is a dynamic and evolving profession with
much to offer in the 21st century.

Note of Thanks to Departing Board Members
We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the dedication,
hard work, and efforts of three members of the NEHA board of directors
on the occasion of their departure from the board: Region 4
Vice President Bette Packer, Region 6 Vice President Jim Dingman,
and Immediate Past President Dick Pantages.
Bette Packer
Region 4 Vice President Bette Packer decided to
retire after six years as a member of the NEHA
board of directors. She had previously retired as
a food safety specialist with the city of Minneapolis.
She then contributed her food safety expertise
to retail stores, restaurants, schools, and
wholesale food manufacturing facilities, helping
them improve their food safety processes and practices and providing
certifi cation and recertifi cation classes for their staff. Bette
joined the NEHA board in 2003 and has been an active supporter
of her region’s affi liates. She won the Minnesota Environmental
Health Association’s Frank A. Staffenson Award in 2004.
Jim Dingman
Region 6 Vice President Jim Dingman leaves the
NEHA board of directors after 16 years of dedicated
service. Jim is the only board member to
serve as RVP for two different regions during his
tenure on the board. He was regional vice president
for Region 3 from 1994 to 1998 and regional
vice president for Region 6 from 2003 to 2010. He was also president
of NEHA in 2002–2003. Jim serves as the lead engineering
associate in the regulatory services department of Underwriters
Laboratories. He is an author of numerous articles on food safety,
the environmental health profession, pool issues, and general environmental
health. Jim’s expertise, experience, and knowledge
will be missed.
Dick Pantages
Immediate Past President Dick Pantages leaves
the NEHA board of directors after 19 years of
dedicated service and leadership. Dick served as
Region 2 vice president for 14 years (1991–
2005). In 2005, he was elected second vice president
and served as president of NEHA in 2008–
2009. He was president of the northern California
Environmental Health Association in 1987–1988. He was also
president of our California affi liate and recipient of a NEHA Past
President’s Award. Dick was formerly an environmental health director
of a county program in California. Known for his penchant
for Hawaiian shirts and his attention to detail, Dick added both
levity and experiential wisdom to board meetings. We also believe
Dick to be the longest-serving board director in NEHA history. He
is well known and has inspired many professionals in this field
over his distinguished career.

Terry Osner
I’m reminded of Paul McCartney’s song, "The Long and Winding Road," when
someone asks about my background.
I’ve lived in several cities and countries, including Hawaii and Japan, but
now call Denver home. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of
Northern Colorado in a little over three years, and obtained my master’s in education
from the University of Hawaii. I am a consummate learner with enough graduate hours beyond my
master’s for another degree or two. My experience includes teaching high school physics,
being a vice principal, academic dean, and instructional designer. Each of these experiences had unique
challenges and opportunities that only added to my knowledge and skills.
I felt privileged when asked to join NEHA as the senior advisor last fall, and it has
been a steep learning curve ever since! As senior advisor, my work includes a variety of projects
including board of director activities and meetings, policy issues, AEC & Exhibition
planning, research, and data analysis. Outside of NEHA, I enjoy a number of activities,
including photography, astronomy, reading, technology, cooking, and music. I also facilitate graduate-level
courses for an online university, so there is no rest for the weary - but isn’t that what learning is all about?
Rosie Shahlari
I recently moved to Denver from Kansas City and am so happy to be here! I received my bachelor of science degree
in biology from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2005. Before coming to NEHA, I worked in sales at
ThermoFisher Scientific and sold clinical microbiology products to hospitals and reference labs all across the country.
In my current role here at NEHA, I am continuing my passion for sales and health by promoting the
NEHA food safety training program, as well as pursuing new sponsors and exhibitors for the NEHA Annual Educational Conference
& Exhibition. I am also involved in building the partnership between NEHA, MindLeaders, and Prometric, and helping to build
awareness about this three-pronged approach to food safety

In Memoriam- Dr. V. Harry Adrounie
It is with great sadness that NEHA announces that Dr. V. Harry Adrounie
passed away at age 95 earlier this month. Adrounie was president of NEHA
in 1961–62, and he received the Walter S. Mangold Award in 1963. He had
many accomplishments in EH, not least of which was having a law in
Michigan named after him in 2004. The V. Harry Adrounie Laboratory
Data Quality Assurance Act requires the Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) to implement a laboratory data quality recognition program
to identify commercial laboratories it considers qualified to generate
analytical data for submission to the DEQ for compliance purposes.
Adrounie was active in EH his whole life and was chair of the Barry
County (Michigan) Solid Waste Oversight Committee at the time of his
passing. The EH profession will greatly miss such a leading figure in the field.
In Memoriam- Dr. John R. Stukenberg
It is with great sadness that Bio-Microbics announced the passing of Dr. John R.
Stukenberg, former vice president of Bio-Microbics, on January 13, 2010.
Dr. Stukenberg was widely recognized for his expertise in wastewater treatment and
processes, having designed well over 100 wastewater treatment plants. In the field
of water treatment, he had been involved in the use of ozone for microcoagulation
and control of trihalomethane formation.
Dr. Stukenberg worked for Neptune MicroFLOC in the 1960s, focusing on the research
and development of packaged water treatment plants, and then moved on to Black & Veatch
in the 1970s, providing the foundation that eventually led to what is now called the
Advanced Environmental Technologies Division. He retired from his position as executive
vice president of Black & Veatch in 2001.
Joining the staff at Bio-Microbics in late 2001, Dr. Stukenberg assisted the company in
the development and advancement of its decentralized wastewater and storm water treatment
products sharing his expertise in the field of wastewater processing.
Dr. Stukenberg was a pioneer in the wastewater treatment industry and will be missed.
In Memoriam - Tom Seechuk
Tom Seechuk died January 20, 2010. He joined LaMotte Company in November
of 1989 initially as technical services manager and later became a market
manager for the industrial and water/wastewater divisions. He was an active
member of the National Spa and Pool Institute’s chemical treatment and
process subcommittee and their subsequent APSP recreational water quality
committee, serving collectively for more than 20 years. He was a contributing
author to several of their water chemistry technical bulletins. His dry,
off-centered wit frequently decorated many mundane business meetings.
Tom routinely lectured on a wide variety of water analysis topics for several different
industries and would often exhibit at more than a dozen trade shows each year. Before
working at LaMotte he was employed by Taylor Technologies for nine years and 7-Up Company
for three years, serving as a chemist at both companies and later moving into sales at Taylor.
His extraordinary technical talents combined with his gifts for entertaining others made
him a memorable figure to all who met him. For many years Tom performed as a professional
musician and singer on weekends. He is survived by his wife, Janet, and a daughter, Julie.

Ginny Coyle
I am new to both Denver and NEHA. My husband and I moved here from Minnesota about 18 months
ago and couldn’t be happier. I joined NEHA in June to support a new program, Epi-Ready for
Response Teams, in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as part of the Food
All-Hazards Rapid Response Team Training. Over the next two years, we will be holding workshops
across the country to train teams from FDA, state departments of agriculture, and affiliated
partners in methods to respond to foodborne illness disease outbreaks. ERRT is based on our
award-winning Epi-Ready program, with an emphasis on federal and state responsibilities
in food protection.
My background is somewhat eclectic but with a strong focus on adult education. I hold a BS and
MS in environmental horticulture from the University of Minnesota and taught community college
classes in horticulture for about 10 years. I also taught environmental science at several private
colleges in Minnesota and Denver.
As a trainer for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture several years ago, I coordinated workshops
throughout Minnesota for the Integrated Pest Management in Schools program. With that experience,
and with the help of my supervisors Larry Marcum and Tom Dickey and cohort Elizabeth Landeen,
I am looking forward to working with FDA and NEHA to help build the nation’s capacity for a rapid,
coordinated response to a foodborne disease outbreak.
Rance Baker
My background has always revolved around food and I don’t see a day when it won’t. Most of my experience
has been in the retail side of food, ranging from managing restaurants of all calibers to managing
regions in the natural food market industry. Although for over 30 years I have been based out of Denver,
my work has allowed me to live in such diverse places as Vancouver, British Columbia; Fort Lauderdale,
Florida; and Detroit, Michigan. In 2004, I opened a restaurant/specialty market in downtown St. Louis,
and was honored with the city’s Spirit of St. Louis award. I have had wonderful experiences designing
new food concepts for large corporations, creating wine bars and specialty market concepts, and working
as a design chef developing new products for the airline industry. I also had an incredible opportunity
to work in India, designing a food facility capable of feeding 5,000 people an hour.
In August 2009, I accepted a position with NEHA as program administrator for the Entrepreneurial Zone.
What a wonderfully challenging and exciting role it has been! Because of my background, I bring a strong
understanding of how the private sector interacts with regulatory concerns. My goal is to build strong
partnerships that will increase the effectiveness of the hard work of the EH professional.

Originally from the tropical island of
Singapore, I completed my BSc at the University of Toronto and my MSc at
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My graduate research
focused on aquatic nutrient availability in Alaska. After completing my
MSc, I worked for the Illinois State Water Survey on erosion control and
sedimentation issues concerning the Illinois River. I also spent a year
teaching children and adults English in Shanghai, China. Just over a
year ago, I was fortunate enough to join NEHA where I now work with
NEHA’s distinguished technical section chairs to develop the educational
content of NEHA’s Annual Educational Conference (AEC) & Exhibition.
Currently, I am working with the section chairs on the educational
content of the 2010 AEC, integrating principles of return on investment
(ROI) into some of the 2010 AEC & Exhibition education, and pushing the
greening of the conference. In my free time I love to travel, try
different ethnic foods, and be outdoors.
Sarah Henry
I am thrilled to be calling Denver, Colorado, home
and delighted to have the opportunity to work with so many dedicated
individuals for such an esteemed organization. I received my BA in
psychology from the University of Toledo (Ohio). My interest in mental
health and aging-related issues led me to pursue a master of public
health administration degree from the Northwest Ohio Consortium for
Public Health (University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University,
Ohio). While completing my MPH, I worked for both the Susan G. Komen
Foundation and the Alzheimer’s Association (Northwest Ohio Chapters).
After I completed my degree, I was hired by the National Association of
Local Boards of Health (NALBOH) as project coordinator of education and
training. My main focus was environmental health and emergency
preparedness issues as they related to boards of health.
I was
honored to accept the position of content editor of the Journal of
Environmental Health and education delivery coordinator last May with
NEHA. As content editor, my position primarily entails corresponding
with authors and overseeing the layout of the JEH. The “education
delivery” role involves determining the best methods to get information
into the hands of practicing environmental health professionals. I enjoy
utilizing my knowledge about the field in this position!

NEHA
Welcomes a New Affiliate
NEHA is pleased to announce our newest affiliate: the Saudi Arabian
Environmental Health Association (SAEHA). Several months ago a Saudi
Arabian group of environmental health professionals contacted NEHA
wishing to set up an affiliated organization. Many members of this group
are environmental scientists who work in the environmental protection
department for Saudi Aramco, the largest oil producer in the world. By
creating this association and affiliating themselves with other
environmental health professionals, they hope to expand their knowledge
of environmental health issues and help advance the field of
environmental health in Saudi Arabia.
NEHA welcomes this exciting opportunity
for information exchange and exposure to environmental health issues in
other parts of the world. In addition, through such affiliations, NEHA
increases its opportunities for success in fulfilling our mission “to
advance the environmental health protection professional for the purpose
of providing a healthful environment for all,” no matter their location!
A significant number of U.S citizens who work in Saudi Arabia may be
interested in joining this affiliate.
To demonstrate its commitment to NEHA,
the SAEHA has taken the unusual step of stating in their bylaws that all
members must also be NEHA members. NEHA only asks as a requirement of
affiliation that at least 15 affiliate members also be NEHA members,
which must include the affiliate president and at least one other board
officer. The NEHA bylaws allow for the creation of an Affiliate
Association in each state or territory of the United States or an
identifiable geographical area of a foreign country. NEHA already has a
Jamaican affiliate, a Korean affiliate, and an armed services affiliate.
In order to create a new affiliate, the interested group must first
submit their bylaws and a written petition signed by a minimum of 15
active NEHA members. These must then be accepted and approved by the
NEHA board of directors. The NEHA board approved SAEHA at their December
meeting.
Affiliate presidents serve as a liaison
between NEHA and the affiliate members. We always welcome hearing about
the concerns and needs of the members either directly or through
participation at the Annual Educational Conference’s (AEC’s) focus
groups. We also encourage the nomination of deserving affiliate members
for the prestigious Mangold Award and invite affiliate members to apply
for the NEHA Sabbatical Exchange program. At the AEC we award NEHA
Certificates of Merit to affiliate members who have been selected for
this honor by their affiliates. Affiliate members also have
opportunities to serve on NEHA committees or even possibly to seek
election as regional vice presidents or national officers. We support
ongoing communication between affiliates and NEHA national officers, the
executive director, and regional vice presidents, and look forward to
invitations to affiliate meetings and events. NEHA is happy to maintain
a reciprocal link to affiliate Web sites and to post updates to help
promote important affiliate conferences, awards, and activities.
For more information about affiliation
with NEHA, please feel free to contact your regional vice president as
listed in the
Journal of Environmental Health, or contact
Genny Homyack, executive associate, at the NEHA office at
303.756.9090.
Once again, NEHA offers big
congratulations to our newest affiliate SAEHA! We wish you the best as
you move forward advancing the environmental health professional in
Saudi Arabia.
