As the president for the chapter year of 2025-26, please allow me to say hello and thank you for being a member of ASSP Southern Oregon Chapter. Whether you’ve been with us for years or have just recently joined the chapter, your membership matters. In fact, it’s the heartbeat of this chapter. Together, we represent a wide range of industries, experiences, and expertise, all bound by one shared goal: protecting people, property, and the environment. Your commitment to safety excellence fuels everything we do—from our meetings and professional development offerings to our community outreach and partnerships.
We’re proud to say that, thanks to your support and active participation, October saw yet another successful annual Safety Conference. This event brought together professionals from across the area to learn from top-tier presenters, explore cutting-edge solutions, and collaborate on the challenges we face every day in our profession. As I watched the level of engagement, collaboration, and enthusiasm from both attendees and presenters at the conference, I was reminded of what we can accomplish when we come together as a chapter.
But our work doesn’t stop there. We are constantly looking for new ways to grow and strengthen our membership so that more professionals can benefit from what our chapter has to offer. If you know a coworker, friend, or colleague who could benefit from the professional development, networking, and leadership opportunities provided through ASSP, we encourage you to invite them to join. Expanding our membership not only enhances our collective knowledge and influence but also helps us build a stronger, more resilient safety culture in our workplaces and communities.
As your Chapter President, I want to emphasize that this is your chapter. Your voice, your ideas, and your involvement help shape our success. We welcome your feedback on past events, suggestions for future speakers or topics, and any thoughts you have on how we can continue to add value to your membership. If there’s something you’d like to see us do, or do better, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our Executive Committee. We are here to serve and support you.
And if you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, now is a perfect time! Whether it’s helping plan an event, volunteering at a conference, speaking at a monthly meeting or conference, or volunteering on the executive committee, there are numerous ways to contribute that fit all levels of availability and interest. Volunteering not only helps the chapter—it also helps you grow your leadership skills, build your professional network, and make a real impact in the safety profession.
Looking ahead, we have an exciting year planned, filled with opportunities to learn, connect, and lead. Be on the lookout for upcoming meetings, training sessions, chapter events, and community outreach activities. We hope to see you there—not just as a participant, but as an engaged member of a professional family working together for a safer tomorrow.
Once again, thank you for your commitment to the ASSP and the Southern Oregon Chapter. Your involvement matters, and your presence makes a difference. Let’s continue supporting each other, learning from one another, and striving for excellence in all that we do.
