Congratulations to the members meeting the 40- and 25-year milestones!

The Chapter has developed a Chapter Sponsorship Program with the sponsorship proceeds supporting the WPA ASSP Chapter meetings and Scholarship/Grant Program while visibly marketing your company’s products and/or services to our members and the organizations in which we are involved. We offer three sponsorship packages.

It is important to note that other opportunities will be presented throughout the Chapter year including the Annual Professional Development Conference and Student Section Events that are separate from the above three packages.

For more information, go to the Sponsorship page on the website.

The December Technical Meeting was conducted as a live virtual lunchtime meeting on December 17, 2020. The Presenter was Carl W. Heinlein, ARM, CSP, CRIS, Sr. Safety Consultant with American Contractors Insurance Group and a Chapter member. The title of the Presentation was “Serious Injuries & Fatalities (SIF) – A Case Study in the Construction Industry”. There were twenty-seven (27) people that participated. We had 46 people register for the virtual meeting. Thank you to those who participated in this virtual meeting!

The video recording of the presentation is here and the presentation is here for those that missed the meeting or if you would like to review either of them again.
