Well the summer is winding down and the weather is starting to cool, while things here at the Chesapeake Chapter of ASSP are heating up. We are busy planning for our next PDC which will likely by virtual, and a very well-rounded program. Additionally, our monthly member meetings are falling into place as well, where we are offering a variety of great topics, ranging from the use of QR Codes in safety to round table discussion of local safety professionals expanding on how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected us all. How we handled the various challenges from not only working at home but having employees and colleagues away from the shop as well. How to social distance on a construction site effectively. What worked and what didn’t go as planned or expected.
When we started off this new year at the chapter, we knew there would be challenges ahead. Everyone was asked to take a new different perspective on how we can achieve our goals under very different than normal circumstances. With great pride I see chapter members and committees coming together to continue the great success of our Chesapeake chapter.
For new comers who may be struggling in these times, or other safety professionals who have been able to get things to work out well, this is the place to be to share our trials and tribulations. We all grow by sharing and learn much more in adversity than during smooth sailing. Come join a group of talented, dedicated and committed persons taking the safety profession to new heights even in times of uncertainty.

My sincere thanks and admiration for fellow members, committee members, elected officials and all who have worked hard for continuous success of the Chesapeake Chapter. The best is yet to come.
Sincerely,
James F Kane
Chapter President
