The following is a list of administrative, supervisory and technical

which is now being utilized as a national format. Also, I developed and

implemented the shot firers study guide.

grant officials and Industry personnel.

twenty-seven certification categories along with tracking and record keeping for

each.

4. I developed the computer tracking and reporting criteria of all state grant activities

and briefed the necessary personnel concerning the implementation of each facet

thereof.

preparing and submitting the Quarterly Technical Report for the state grants. I

wrote and developed the contractor 8-hour training program, which is now

utilized on a national basis.

of technical liaison for the state grants programs and state mine rescue team

training and development. I was also charged with Mine Emergency Operations

implementing surface haulage seminars and small coal mine operator’s seminars.

an Officer (Treasurer) I was responsible for coordinating the annual mine rescue

and bench contest for five years (1989 through 1994). Also, I have been
