The Yuma Pacific-Southwest (YPSW) was formed in 1975 by pioneers of the modern industrial hygiene profession: George Clayton, Frank Patty, Lester and Lewis Cralley, Ralph Allan, James Sterner, and Herbert Walworth. YPSW has since included virtually all leaders in the IH profession from the private, academic, and government sectors.
We take pride in the section's unique membership and the legacy of opportunities we provide to our members and the profession. Our heritage and our esteemed membership roster over the past 50 years are sources of great pride.
