[Pharmwaste] New List Serve Administrator

Wed Sep 28 16:23:45 EDT 2016

I am so happy for you! I can't thank you enough for everything I've learned and to the DEP for hosting it. Yes, you should be very proud of all the help and coordination and even list serve friends people have gained. If you have not met Laurie in person, as I've had the pleasure to do, she is a blast, smart and funny.

Just curious though, if you banned me on the way out because I didn't get the Monday message, I only got the replies!
:)

To all my friends on the Pharmwaste List Serve,

I am retiring September 30. One of the hardest things I’m doing is turning over administration of the list serve and saying good-bye to all of you.

Do you know this list serve has been in existence since January, 2005? I am looking at the archive section right now, remembering some folks who have moved on to other things and topics we discussed all those years ago. We’ve come a long way, with successful legislation, DEA events, permanent collection sites all over the country, and on-going research showing how important these things are to the current and future health of our precious water.

Jill Scarborough is taking over as administrator of the list server. Jill works in our hazardous waste section and has been my counterpart in pharmaceuticals but for business waste instead of homeowner waste. Changing administrators won’t change anything for the rest of you.

Of everything I’ve done while working for Florida DEP, I am most proud of the list serve and the impact it has had at a national level. Thank you all for helping that happen. I am also thankful to DEP for hosting this unique beast and for keeping it going after I leave.

You’ll probably see me post in the future but it will be from my living room.

Keep going with all the great work we’ve already accomplished,
Your friend,
Laurie
