The Packer Valley Chapter started in March of 1970 as the “International” chapter

because there was one active member from Canada.

On September 23, 1991 the name was changed to Packer Valley.

The Chapter received recognition for “producing the best chapter newsletter” in June of 1995. In the same year our chapter also received recognition for being an “Outstanding Chapter”.

In October 2005 the Packer Valley chapter was awarded 1st place for “Superior Chapter Award” and again in October 2007 the chapter was awarded 3rd place.

 

Packer Valley celebrated its 40th birthday in 2010.

The chapter held its first virtual meeting in February 2009.

It was such a great success we are continuing to do virtual meetings.

Meetings are held five times a year at the facility of a member or a

vendor with education provided.

Corinne Zudonyi, Editor-in-Chief of Facility Cleaning Decisions magazine and CleanLink.com

 

I have been fortunate enough to work within this industry since 2005, when I signed on as editor of one of the industry's leading publications. As the editor of Facility Cleaning Decisions magazine, I work with thousands of facility/custodial executives, industry manufacturers and distributors to deliver information that helps my readers advance in their careers. The quantity and diversity of information I receive on a daily basis gives me an overall and unbiased view of the industry as a whole. My favorite part of my job, though, is getting to know and work with all the wonderful people that make up this great industry. 

 

I joined the IEHA Packer Valley Chapter in 2009 and have held a board member position since 2012. I make every effort to be remain an active member of the association and a resource

to the chapter.

 

In my free time, I am very active in softball, volleyball, hiking and volunteering with local charities. I also enjoy spending time with my very large family, and traveling and visiting new cities

with my husband.

 I have been a member of IEHA for 20 some years beginning as an associate member guided by a trusted mentor.  I am married and with this fabulous partner we raised 5 children and are supervising 14 grandchildren at their school events, taking some camping, and sharing traditions on holidays.  The easter egg hunt has grown to 350 plastic candy filled eggs; which are filled in an adult assembly line the day before.  My place of employment is Bethany Ev. Lutheran School housing 174 kids,  19 adults,  full –time Kindergarten through 8 grade students,  5000 square feet gym area also used as the lunch room,  overall a lot of cleaning space.  The membership in this chapter is about networking with peers, going to educational seminars, to get away from the stigma label of cleaning toilets and emptying the trash.   The industry is about education, science, safety, and a healthy environment.  I am glad to be a part of this Packer Valley Chapter.
