My friendship with Chris Lawrence started about 12 years ago while serving on the ASSE (at that time) Executive Committee. Chris was such a kind and generous mentor to me, helping to provide guidance for my career goals and advice through any crazy situation that my safety management work threw at me. Chris has served our Southern Oregon Chapter for all those years in various positions on the committee as well as Region 1 ASSP and Society as a whole.
Chris was nominated for this award by someone who works closely with him in his role as safety manager at Boise Cascade, Lori Austin. In a recent discussion with Lori, she stated that he is the most caring and kind safety manager that she has ever known. He truly wants to keep workers safe and that genuine caring shines through everything he does. She was so excited to nominate him based on how much Chris means to her, and even more thrilled to find out that he won this prestigious award.
Please join me in congratulating Southern Oregon’s newest Safety Professional of the year!
