Leading off: Dr. Jamel Sandidge, BCE, the national director of technical services for Nisus Corp. was the event’s first presenter. During his presentation, he shared news headlines of restaurant closures and disease outbreaks due to a lack of commitment to sanitation: “If they had pest control, if they had you guys, these stories would not exist. Focus on health, focus on disease transmission and the correlation to sanitation.”
