"Missy is a strong advocate for proper ethanol safety training and has been an active TRANSCAER® participant for a number of years," said TRANSCAER® Director Erica Bernstein. ""Through RFA's participation in TRANSCAER®, she has helped educate thousands of attendees through seminars and webinars, and I look forward to her bringing the same expertise and passion to the TRANSCAER® Executive Committee,"" she added. "I consider it an honor and privilege to be elected to the TRANSCAER® Executive Committee," said Ruff. "The RFA has worked with TRANSCAER® for a number of years to help educate and train emergency responders in the rare event an incident occurs, and I look forward to our continued partnership." In conjunction with TRANSCAER® this year, RFA has held 20 ethanol safety seminars and two train the trainer events, with more planned throughout the year.
