Here is some good news as we enter a new year. We are moving the starting time of our ASP-CSP& SMS study group to 4:30 PM. We will meet on third Tuesdays for about an hour. Our next study group event will be on January 18th. Please let me know if you would like to join our study group. It is free, and most of the topics we cover also apply to elements of the SMS certification (Safety Management Specialist). If you are working on your SMS certification, let me know, and we can focus some of our study on topics that overlap. Our chapter is always looking for ways to help support your work in the safety profession.
Our next chapter meeting program on January 4th will feature Bryon Snapp from Oregon OSHA discussing regulatory updates. This is an important topic as we see new changes developing that have an impact on workplace safety and health.
With the completion of our first virtual conference well behind us now, January will mean that planning for the 2022 conference will begin. Mike Hill will be our conference chair again this year, but he will need a team to help him put together a great conference. It takes a lot of input and work from representatives in our community to help put together these world-class conferences. We can really use your help. Please consider joining our winning conference planning team!
Reflecting on the year that is drawing to a close reminds me of all the hard work that our conference planning committee and chapter executive committee members have done to provide our chapter with excellent programs, workshops, one big conference, and other programs for our safety community here in Southern Oregon.
As we move from one year to the next, I wish you and all yours a very Happy 2022!
