Approximately 90 percent of producers’ expenses occur in operations and production. Therefore, it has never been more important for your plant crew to be efficient, productive and risk and regulatory savvy. To meet these challenges head on, NRMCA will cover the skills needed in the Plant Manager Certification workshop set for August 13-16 in Silver Spring, MD (metro Washington, DC). This class not only serves producers, but specifically meets the Army Corp of Engineers' contract spec requirement for personnel who must be certified as part of awarded federal contracts. It is also a required class in the NRMCA Operations and Production Track in the STEPS program.
