Wow, what a year!

We started off the year deep into COVID and did our best to keep safety information and meetings flowing.  In addition to COVID and additional workloads caused by COVID, many of us experienced family member loses during the year.  It was just amazing to watch our “ASSP Family” step up to the plate and fill in for one another throughout the year.

Being an “old guy”, I can honestly tell you that in our lifetimes we end up having “multiple” families.  We have our home family, our work family (where we spend most of our work-life time), and for us lucky ones we have our “Safety Family – our ASSP family”!  Over the many years I have been associated with ASSP I have found that “safety professionals” have the largest hearts and are always willing to step up to the plate when others are in need.  It is that caring heart that makes each of you a very special person and as a group makes us fantastic family.

A big thank you for the following officers during my tenure as your chapter President. We could not have done it without them!. Most are moving up, per our chapter plan. If you are interested in volunteering, we still need a social media person, as well as 2 of our officers are or will be deployed soon. Please contact myself of Larry Peterson if you wish to help support your chapter!!
