At their meeting on March 2, 2005, the State Air Pollution Control (SAPCB) approved a new charter for the State Advisory Board on Air Pollution (SABAP).  The terms of several members expire on December 31, 2005.

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking individuals who are willing to serve as members of the SABAP. It is anticipated that the SAPCB will approve membership on the Advisory Board at their December meeting.  At the same time we expect that the potential topics for the Advisory Board will also be selected.

DEQ is seeking membership from environmental and health organizations, academia, the legal profession,  industry or trade associations that have a background in air quality technology, policies or programs to serve on the Advisory Board. If you are interested, please submit your name and a brief resume of your qualifications to John M. Daniel, Jr., Director, Air Division, Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 10009, Richmond, VA 23240, phone: 804-698-4311, fax: 804-698-4510 or jmdaniel@deq.virginia.gov.  Submissions are due by close of business on October 31, 2005.
