Conference Follow-up
Recommendations Document: During the two public days of the 2010 National Training Conference on the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and Environmental Conditions in Communities, numerous suggestions and recommendations were provided by conference presenters and attendees. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) staff captured all of those recommendations and compiled them into the attached document. Additionally, recommendations were gathered from comment cards collected over the course of the conference and from a portion of the conference evaluation and are included in the attached document. The recommendations are loosely organized by the following topic areas: Communication and Data Analysis, Data Access Tools, Enforcement, Guidance and Rulemaking, International Collaboration, National Analysis, and Outreach and Training.
The opinions and recommendations in this document do not reflect the views and intentions of the US EPA or the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS). Mention of product, vendor or company names or services in this document does not constitute US EPA or ECOS endorsement. These recommendations are a compilation of what was suggested during the two public days of the conference and were not solicited by US EPA or ECOS. Additionally, they are not a commitment for action by US EPA or ECOS. US EPA and ECOS will be considering these recommendations as they plan future activities to the extent appropriate.

2010 Conference Session Recordings
At this year’s conference, all of the conference sessions were recorded using GoToMeeting Webinar software. This was a pilot project and we learned a great deal from this experience. Please note that the recordings are not perfect. To keep files sizes down it was necessary to compromise resolution so the visuals are sometimes fuzzy, the audio quality is better in some recordings than others, and the audio for one presentation was not captured.
Below are links to the recordings of the sessions. The files are 30 to 180 minutes in length and include one or two conference sessions. Individual speaker start times are listed in brackets next to each speaker name. The start times allow you to scroll to the presentation you would like to listen to by utilizing the slider bar at the bottom of the media player.
We are interested in hearing your views on the value of having these recordings. This will help us determine whether or not we should record the sessions at the 2012 Training Conference.
