Starting our event, Corrie Pitzer, CEO of Safe Map International, will facilitate our Professional Development Workshop entitled, Deep Safe Leadership. Deep Safe Leadership is focused on leadership in the high-risk environment and translating those skills to leading when we cant promise a safe environment.
Opening keynote presentation will be delivered by Anil Mathur, former CEO of Alaska Tanker Co. and outgoing Public Director at ASSP. When Mathur took over the leadership of ATC, they were experiencing a time-loss injury every month and as they built up the safety systems and knowledge, they went over a dozen years with only one time-loss injury. Mathur stresses the importance of building trust with employees and teaching mindfulness.
Second day keynote will be delivered by Amy Harper, PhD, Senior Director of workplace training and consulting at the National Safety Council. Dr. Harper has worked in the field for more than 20 years as a consultant, trainer, strategist and marketer.
Our conference will also include our popular Safety Committee University and its five-session series as well as a special presentation by Bob Edwards on the value of Learning Teams. We have other terrific topics and presenters in various safety and leadership topics.
To wrap up our event, our very own Craig Hamelund will emcee our closing session and awards ceremony where we will present 5 different awards to well-deserved businesses and leaders.
