CRSO Association

["Armando Zea" <AZEA@engr-serv.usc.edu>]

Dear Radsafers:

After receiving numerous inquiries about the Campus Radiation 
Safety Officers (CRSO) Association I have decided to tell you a little 
bit about its history.   The university and hospital radiation protection 
officers from Canada and the USA have met on a biennial basis, for 
the past 29 years. They have met on an alternate basis in both 
countries.  This international group (nowadays people from other 
institutions and other countries are also participating) of 
professionals, has shared its experience and expertise by presenting 
frank, practical, and effective solutions to the ever-changing problems 
encountered in institutional radiation safety programs.

We do not have  "Officers", with the exception of the President (Bill 
Schadt) and the Keeper of the List (Armando Zea).  If anyone wishes 
to assume either position, just attend the next meeting in Victoria, 
B.C. and have someone propose your name.  There is no 
membership fee to join the association. No application forms are 
necessary.  All we need to know is your name, the institution where 
you work, your address, your telephone and fax numbers and your 
e-mail address.  This invitation is also extended to RSOs from other 
countries as well.

Our next meeting will be organized by the University of Victoria's 
RSO, Renato Danesin, together with the Canadian Radiation 
Protection Association.  It will take place during May 1997.

If you are already a member, I need your e-mail address as soon as 
possible.  If your address or phone/fax numbers have changed in the 
last ten years, please send me the new numbers directly to my 
e-mail address.


Thank you,

Armando E. Zea
