TNI Forum

Welcome to the Forum on Environmental Accreditation

The NELAC Institute’s (TNI’s) Forum on Environmental Accreditation is the principal conference for addressing policy and technical issues affecting the accreditation of environmental laboratories and other organizations involved in generating environmental data. The Forum will feature open public meetings of TNI committees to allow quality professionals, chemists, analysts, microbiologists, engineers, and managers from federal and state agencies; commercial, municipal, state, and federal laboratories; and many others who are actively involved and interested in laboratory accreditation issues to participate in the efforts to establish national programs for environmental accreditation.

The 2023 Forum will include:

  • Training courses on Detection/Quantitation Limits and Cause Analysis,
  • Meetings of TNI committees,
  • A mentor session,
  • An assessment forum, and
  • A general session with updates about TNI programs, including recent new initiatives.

The 2023 Forum will be held at the Hyatt Regency in San Antonio, TX. All sessions and TNI meetings are open to all attendees according to your registration. Attendees have the ability to attend any session the week of January 9 in person and view any session you missed from January 16 to March 30, 2023. For those that do not plan to come to San Antonio, you have the ability to view any session from January 16 to March 30, 2023.
