FIFTEEN YEARS OF PROGRESS THROUGH COOPERATION
GQVERNMENT - INDUSTRY - EDUCATION
Without cooperation between those who prepare directives, those who implement them and
those who must follow them, there will be confusion and differences in interpretation and
application. The past fifteen years have seen giant steps taken in this cooperative effort
where discussion by knowledgeable principals takes place prior to the preparation and
publication of major policy and procedure documents.
To the furtherance of this cooperative effort, we dedicate our seminar.
