Liaison Committee Perspective
As the reach and impact of NORA continue to grow, so to do the roles and responsibilities of the Liaison Committee. Page 24 of this NORA Update contains a summary of the 1999 survey conducted by the committee to determine the effectiveness and reach of NORA. While the survey revealed that NORA is well recognized, there is still room for improvement. The Liaison Committee is committed to further increasing the recognition and reach of NORA by continuing to work with NIOSH to guide and track NORA's progress and pursue new outreach opportunities.
Another new responsibility of the Liaison Committee is administering the NORA Partnership Award for Worker Safety and Health. The next award will be given at the NORA Symposium in 2001. We look forward to reviewing the partnership activities inspired by NORA. Watch for the nomination guidelines in the NORA News and on the NIOSH web page.
The Liaison Committee has seen the difference NORA has made in the field of occupational safety and health. We are proud to be part of this effort and will continue to work with the rest of the NORA partners to ensure that NORA continues to make a difference in protecting worker safety and health.
