Announcing OMRI / IOIA Webinars for Canada

(March 13, 2014) OMRI (the Organic Materials Review Institute) and the International Organic Inspectors Association (IOIA) are pleased to announce a new series of joint webinars focused on the use of materials under the Canada Organic Regime (COR) standards. The two organizations initially partnered to conduct webinars for the USDA organic standards over three years ago, resulting in ongoing high quality training opportunities for hundreds of inspectors and certification staff. Now with the recent launch of the new OMRI Canada program, OMRI is expanding its organizational expertise. Technical Director Lindsay Fernandez-Salvador will act as lead presenter, and IOIA Trainer Lisa Pierce will coordinate curriculum for this educational series.
