The awards program has been further expanded, to include the Radon Hero Award. The CRCPD recognizes that exposure to indoor radon is a significant contributor to total radiation exposure received by the public and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. This award, entitled Radon Hero, is to recognize an individual who has demonstrated leadership in reducing the health effects of radon exposure. The award will be given based on the individual’s contribution to this effort, on their breadth and scope of services, and commitment to sustained radon risk reduction. [Posted 2/1/08] |

The Board has created a new award: the Public Servant Award. The award is to recognize a federal, state or local government official (other than a state or local radiation control program director) who has made significant contributions in support of state radiation control programs and/or the public in achieving a better understanding of, and protection from, radiation exposure. The award also is given in memory of those public servants who contributed in an outstanding way to the support of state radiation control programs and the protection of people and their environment.

PROBLEM
WITH ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THE NATIONAL RADON CONFERENCE.
The end of July-first of August the main server that hosted our
website went down. When our website was restored, we
discovered a problem with online registration. We got it
fixed. But now we have learned that there is a different
problem, so for the time being online registration is shut down.
We apologize to those who have experienced a problem. If
you think you have been one of them, give Sharon a call at
502/227-4543, Ext. 2229.
