Post: March 2nd, 2011: ERS-2011-03-02 #243 Show Notes

Back from a great time in Mobile AL, where I attended the Annual General Meeting for the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation! I also got a chance to visit both the foundation and Elevator World which was really cool.  I’ll recap what we accomplished and personally would like to thank those who have contributed so much to the foundation and the new comers to the board. Some tough reality to face as the budget is approved for next year. Also on the program we’ll cover the calendar of events for our industry.
