This cannot be accomplished with only one person’s knowledge, experience, or insight. It takes a collective group of like-minded individuals whose goal is to make others safe and successful. I look forward to serving with each of you who are on the Education committee, and I want to thank all of you for dedicating your time, energy, and efforts toward the RETA mission of enhancing the profes sional development of the industries operators, technicians, and engineers alike.

I’m very blessed to have a role with RETA and I am extremely excited that the role is now with Educa tion. I had the pleasure of being on the subcommit tee that worked on the latest revision of RETAs IR-III, and I learned quickly that there was a lot I didn’t know, especially regarding writing material, but with the help and expertise of the other committee members we revised a great book. Working for RETA and with the Education commit tee to me is being a part of something so much bigger than yourself or anything one person can accomplish. By dedicating time toward reviewing, revising, and updating our material to meet the industry’s needs, we are changing people’s lives by teaching them how to run systems safely and efficiently. We are truly making this wonderful industry a much better place to work. It’s thanks to RETA and the backbone of RETA, its committees that have made this industry a safe and now lucrative career choice. It’s your commitment to RETA and the industry that has made RETA the Gold Standard in Ammonia Refrigeration Training and will remain that way moving forward. There is a lot of responsibility in
