Now that the officers have been elected, we need volunteers to step up and fill the many committees that make up our ‘Executive Committee.’ and truly embrace the many benefits that the American Society of Safety Professionals has to offer!
The Chesapeake Chapter is one of the most active chapters in the nation, with monthly chapter ‘hybrid’ lunch and learns, and multiple social events that take place during the day and in the evenings. In addition, the chapter partners with the American Industrial Hygiene Association’s Chesapeake and Potomac Locals for one of the most highly attended professional development conferences in the region.
If you are interested in volunteering to serve as a committee chair, or assist by becoming a member of any of our committees, please reach out to me or Matt Koss, directly.
Regardless of the commitment that you can make, your assistance is needed and appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to visit the website for the Chesapeake Chapter of the American Society of Safety Professionals. I hope to hear from you soon.
James Woodward Sr.
ASSP Chesapeake Chapter
