PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Fellow Safety Professionals,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 chapter year! We are rolling into this chapter year as a Platinum Level Chapter for the first time in the chapter’s history! This couldn’t have been a reality without the dedication of the Executive Committee and the membership! This is a huge achievement for the chapter and only eight chapters throughout the region achieved this goal. Now it is up to us to maintain that level moving forward! Also, our SRU student chapter was recognized by the Society as the Outstanding Student Section for 2021 as well!

            In the month of September, we will not be conducting a technical meeting as for Safety 2021 is being held on 13-15 September 2021. Registration is still open for this event both in person and virtually. Please be safe if you are traveling to Austin for the event and enjoy your time with those connections you may have missed out on last year. September is also bringing a virtual meeting of the House of Delegates that will vote on some very important structure changes to the national framework. I will post a link below to the upcoming changes and feel free to reach out to myself or any of the chapter delegates for information or to voice your opinions/concerns. We will follow up in October with a lunchtime virtual technical meeting presented by Matt Clarke who will be speaking on Depression and Suicide. Registration will open soon, and it will be held on Thursday, October 14, 2021, at 12:00pm on our virtual platform.

As we move throughout this chapter year, we will be following local and national guidelines in terms of meeting locations. Currently we plan on offering one in-person meeting per quarter and then have virtual meetings for the other two months. We will offer the virtual meetings free of charge again and a nominal fee for the in-person ones. The chapter planning committee is also working on a location and timeframe for the 2022 Chapter PDC and thanks all those who provided much needed feedback. Remember, this is YOUR chapter and I want to make it better for you. So don’t hesitate to reach out with ideas or suggestions. I look forward to seeing you at our next event!
