NCCCO Commissioners and members of the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) Committees and Task Forces, traveled from all parts of the nation in October 2007 for their bi-annual series of meetings hosted in Houston, TX by BP America. In addition to the regular meetings of NCCCO exam management committees, the two task forces established earlier in the year to develop programs, respectively, for rigger certification and signalperson certification convened meetings to coincide with the event.
