He’s Not Totally Retired

Yes, we all said goodbye to Cary Oshins when he retired earlier this year, but don’t worry, he hasn’t completely stopped sharing his knowledge to help the compost industry. In fact, he is scheduled to be one of the trainers during the upcoming Compost Operations Training Course (COTC) in New Jersey starting the week of July 31. Also presenting is USCC Executive Director, Frank Franciosi. Frank, a native New Jerseyan, will be going back to his home state to be part of this COTC. It’s a great lineup of industry leaders and professionals sharing their diverse expertise during the five-day course. There are still some spots available, and the Early Bird discount rate will be offered until June 19. You can learn more about this training and/or register HERE.

The scholarship created to honor all Cary Oshins did to encourage compost education is now available and accepting applications. The Cary Oshins Training Scholarship offers assistance to people who might find attending a COTC a financial burden. They will be awarded for each COTC scheduled throughout the year and around the country. To find out more about this scholarship and how to apply click HERE.

CREF is still raising funds for this scholarship program. Money raised will go to supporting the scholarships. Donating is a great way to support more people in the industry who will benefit from attending a COTC and as a way to thank Cary for all he did for the industry. You can donate HERE.
