What will happen when she\u00a0retires? She has no understudy! Is there someone out there in AIC with a very\u00a0strong chemistry background and understanding of conservation lab practices and\u00a0artists\u2019 materials who would be interested in branching out to include safety\u00a0training and consultation to their skills? Monona promises to help direct such\u00a0people to sources of technical training and to share her expertise and training\u00a0materials. Once someone is qualified, she will gleefully recommend them to her\u00a0clients. In fact, she has repeatedly offered to turn over her small nonprofit\u00a0to someone qualified so she can do more writing.<br \/>\nI carried out a history interview with Monona in 2003 and have worried ever since about making sure she has prot\u00e9g\u00e9s with whom she can share and possibly\u00a0pass on a great body of knowledge and a very busy practice.\u00a0 This is certainly\u00a0an area of our field with increasing need and certain future employment.\u00a0 If you\u00a0are interested in exploring this possibility please contact Monona at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ACTSNYC@cs.com\">ACTSNYC [at] cs.com<\/a>.<br \/>\n&#8211;Submitted by\u00a0Joyce Hill Stoner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monona Rossol is one of our field\u2019s greatest spokespersons for conservation lab and artists\u2019 studio health and safety guidelines; she is also a fount of\u00a0knowledge on changing regulations for use of conservation chemicals and\u00a0understanding of personal protective procedures and equipment.
