audience comments on that morning’s program and began work on the Mid-Year Meeting Division Program. The International Harmonization Committee, with the participation of many of the international ILC guests, continued reviewing a host of federal and international issues in the areas of hazardous materials transport and Globally Harmonized System (GHS) implementation. The day ended with a special workgroup discussion on potential new strategies to deter intentional inhalation abuse of aerosol dusters. Dec. 9 started with a meeting of the Consumer Aerosol Products Council (CAPCO), which had another active year in promoting aerosol recyclability and correcting misinformation, and ended with the Alliance for Consumer Education (ACE) planning expansion of its advocacy beyond inhalation abuse and into education on correct product use. In between, the Transformative Technology Committee discussed new and innovative aerosol packaging technology, including plastic containers, BOVs and propellants, as well as new alternatives to the hot water bath test. Finally, the APD Executive Board, which oversees all CSPA aerosol activities, met to hear reports from each working committee and discuss issues impacting aerosol products that are being handled by CSPA’s many general committees—including ingredient communication, Proposition 65, VOCs and more. They also recognized the year’s two Division award winners: Gregory Johnson, recipient of the 2015 Volunteer Recognition Award, and Donald Rowson, winner of a special lifetime recognition award honoring more than 50 years of service to CSPA. CSPA also has six other divisions, each with their own working committees and general committees. Each CSPA Annual Meeting and Mid-Year Meeting is truly an immense engine with many moving parts. If any of the topics above directly impact you or your company, feel free to contact CSPA at dfratz@cspa.org for more information—almost every CSPA committee is open for new member representatives to join.
