This year’s Summit in the Snow will offer the first two-track program, where Parasail operators and others will have an alternative workshop that will specifically address their industry. Leading the special breakout workshop for Parasail Operators will be Dan Schultz of ASTM International.
The process of creating new federal standards for the parasail industry will start at the Parasail Operators Symposium in Orlando, and will continue during this very important breakout session.
If you are a parasail operator, be sure to attend both this year’s Summit in February and the Parasail Operators Symposium in January so you can make your voice heard as ASTM International crafts the new standards for the industry.
Please read on to learn more about Dan and his many accomplishments with ASTM International:
