Celebrate NEM 2006 at the HFES Annual Meeting!
By Haydee M. Cuevas, National Ergonomics Month Committee Chair
The theme for this year's National Ergonomics Month (NEM) in October is "A Time For Teaching, Learning, Networking, Service, and Fun!" To celebrate NEM 2006, all HFES Annual Meeting attendees and their guests are invited to a special 90-minute NEM session, to be held on Monday, October 16, from 4:45 to 6:15 p.m., immediately preceding the Opening Gala Reception. HFES President-elect Waldemar Karwowski will share his vision for NEM 2006. The session will also showcase outstanding NEM projects involving schools, community service, and the media, including the announcement of this year's winners for the NEM 2006 Best Action Plan Contest* and the NEM 2005 Best Action Plan Implementation Contest.
NEM Committee Chair Haydee Cuevas will also be on hand with special NEM stickers, bookmarks, and premiums that you can distribute during community events and school visits to promote NEM. The session will also feature several entertaining yet informative interactive demonstrations illustrating human factors/ergonomics principles. Come ready to participate, have fun, and win prizes!
*NOTE: The submission deadline for the NEM 2006 Best Action Plan Contest is August 27, 2006. For more information, see the May issue of the HFES Bulletin, visit http://hfesnem.org, or contact Haydee Cuevas.
