EHS Laboratories is incredibly proud to celebrate our General Manager, Howard Varner, on being awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Lead & Environmental Hazards Association at this year’s National Lead and Healthy Housing Conference in New Orleans.

This recognition reflects not only Howard’s longstanding dedication to the environmental and industrial hygiene industry, but also the impact he has had on the people around him throughout his career. His leadership, integrity, and commitment to quality have helped shape EHS into what it is today.

Howard’s influence extends far beyond the laboratory. He has built a culture centered around trust, growth, accountability, and genuine care for both clients and employees alike. Many of us at EHS have had the privilege of learning under his guidance and witnessing firsthand the passion and professionalism he brings to this industry every single day.

As our Lab Director, Julie Dickerson, shared:

“Howard’s leadership has never just been about success—it’s about doing things the right way, with quality, integrity, and genuine care for his employees. After nearly two decades working alongside him, I’ve seen how his steady guidance and trust create an environment where people are empowered to grow, take ownership, and lead with confidence. His support has shaped my own career in ways I’m deeply grateful for—and I know I’m far from alone.

His commitment to investing in others has built not just a successful organization, but a strong, capable team that reflects his values every day. His legacy isn’t only measured in business achievements, but in the people he’s mentored, the standards he’s set, and the culture he’s built—one that will carry forward well beyond this moment.”

Congratulations, Howard, and thank you for everything you have done for EHS Laboratories, our clients, and the industry as a whole. This recognition is truly well deserved.
