NAS Lapel Pin


On June 25, 1937, the organization known as the California Association of Sanitarians was changed by resolution to the National Association of Sanitarians (NAS) and was incorporated on November 5, 1937, in California. 

The NAS slogan and symbol is embodied in the thumbscrew nut lapel pin pictured above. The slogan, 鈥淪anitation鈥攖he Beacon Light of Public Health,鈥� was adopted in 1932 and the emblem (a shield with a beacon in the center) was adopted on December  11, 1937, at the first annual meeting of NAS in San Luis Obispo, California.

仙人掌视频 Industry Affiliate Lapel Pin


The private sector, or industry, has always been an important segment of our profession, especially in retail food. 仙人掌视频 has always had members that have worked within the private sector. These members recognized the need to work together with professionals from the regulatory sector toward the common goal of protecting the public's health and the environment. 

In the late 1970s, an Industry Advisory Committee was formed to explore the possibility of forming an Industry Affiliate as part of 仙人掌视频. The Industry Affiliate received its charter in 1985 in the belief that the affiliate status would encourage involvement and leadership from industry. Initially the Industry Affiliate was quite successful and shared many programs with the regulatory members of 仙人掌视频. 

One of the highlights of the 仙人掌视频 Annual Educational Conference (AEC) & Exhibition was the Industry Affiliate鈥檚 special night out and dinner. 

The Industry Affiliate lapel pin was one of the largest of all the affiliate pins, which made it the most sought after by AEC participants.

The Sanitarian's Desk Reference

 
In 1962, the National Association of Sanitarians (NAS) published The Sanitarian鈥檚 Desk Reference. It had nine sections made up of reprints from The Sanitarian, the NAS journal (later to become the Journal of Environmental Health). The sections covered the basics of the profession and included general environmental health, food, milk, institutions, housing, solid waste, water鈥攚astewater and plumbing, vectors, and veterinary public health. It also had a section on current published resources of value to the field sanitarian. 

The Sanitarian鈥檚 Desk Reference was found in almost every health department and was used extensively to document reports and prepare letters of abatement and other official regulatory actions. It was also used by individuals studying for the sanitarian registration examination. The authors represented in this desk reference read like a who鈥檚 who of environmental health. Only one issue of the desk reference was published.
