The new OELAONLINE website went live today! A special thanks goes to Erin Sherman (and her teacher Mr. Doug Adkins) of Sprague High School who created our new webpages. I hope to hear comments pro and con about how you like it.

This "OELA Ramblings" column is designed to give us a way of quickly posting news of interest to the Oregon environmental lab community.

The first bit of news for this year is the announcement of our annual OELA/ORELAP Workshop, Friday, May 15, 2009 at the Black Bear Inn in Salem. We will soon have the program and registration brochure posted in the "Events" section of OELAonline. This year's program will feature several presentations by Marlene Moore of Advanced Systems Inc. which will give us a greater understanding of what it takes to be a NELAC accredited laboratory.
