Elevator Radio Show – Video/Audio Show #402 – Week 06/17/15

June 17, 2015

I'm ramping up for next weekâs Elevator U Conference in Columbus, OH and looking forward to seeing many of you next week on the next stop of the conference schedule. Between the construction accidents and some children being hurt while playing on escalators it wasnât a good week for news articles.  The EESF has just a short time to raise some much needed funds for the Safety Rider redevelopment program. Weâre just shy of $46,000 of funds needing to be raised and we need to do so by the end of the month so we donât get delayed with the first week of Septemberâs launch time frame. Please consider donating today (https://co.clickandpledge.com/sp/d1/default.aspx?wid=109905) or helping the foundation (http://www.eesf.org/safety/get-involved/).
