Mike Schmoldt and Robbie Tidwell Earn Prestigious Awards from Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals
Mike Schmoldt, Operational Systems Directorate, and Robbie Tidwell, Energy and Environment Directorate, have been honored with national Champion of Excellence awards from the Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals.
AHMP devotes its efforts to the professional advancement of the hazardous materials management field. The organization includes more than 7,000 members.
This year, only 59 members received the national Champion of Excellence award, which reflects that the honorees have met multiple service criteria to promote protective management practices for ensuring public and worker safety and awareness. Mike and Robbie say the award is an accomplishment that requires a lot of commitment outside PNNL, and good support from their management.
In addition to the AHMP award, Robbie recently received the Outstanding Service Award from the Eastern Washington Chapter of the Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers. The award was presented at the chapter's Dec. 9 meeting. Mike just completed his term as president of the Eastern Washington Chapter. (announced 2/1/2011)
