Dear ExampleContactFirstName

Short and sweet this week..

ALGA has a variety of events occurring around Australia and New Zealand over the coming months - covering a range of topics. Be sure to always check the list under just 'round the corner or on our website under the events calendar.

The VIGGIM Committee (Vapour Intrusion and Ground Gas Investigation & Management Special Interest Group) is maximising the opportunity with Ian Hers (Golder Associates) coming over as a keynote at the NZ 4th Contaminated Land Conference, running a series of branch events (Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney) with the intent of developing guidance for soil gas, that reflects the collective wisdom of all the stakeholders across our industry represented within ALGA and VIGGIM in particular. Check our website calendar (April) for details..

As always any suggestions or concerns do not hesitate contacting me directly OR use the "soapbox" button on the website.

Enjoy!
