The Georgia Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers Sponsors, Supports and Encourages Participation in the annual Georgia Safety, Health and Environmental Conference.

With over 100 hours of instruction offered by over 80 speakers, this conference is one of the most inclusive and most affordable conferences available for our members.

We look forward to having as many ASSE members as possible in attendance at the 15th annual conference this October. We hope to see you there! www.georgiaconference.org

President's Message - June 2009

Good day to everyone.

July signifies the start of a new Chapter year for ASSE. A newly elected officer group is set to take the reigns and guide our Georgia Chapter as we continue the strong effort that is given to support the network of local Safety Professionals as well as ASSE National.

The Elected Officer group is made up of a very energetic team of Safety Professionals who are dedicated to keeping the Georgia Chapter fiscally sound while at the same time providing topnotch presentations each month for attending members. In the upcoming year, core values of working with various youth organizations, supporting the Georgia Safety, Health, and Environmental Conference, being a voice in our State/Federal Government on key safety issues, and helping to fund the ASSE Educational Foundation will continue.

In addition, we have established a short list of goals for the next two years in our strategic plan that include forming stronger ties with our Construction section and helping to establish new Chapters with targeted areas of Macon, Columbus, and Carrollton.

I challenge each member, either active or retired, to make it a point to attend some meetings during this upcoming year. If you can, be active in our chapter as everything that we accomplish is driven by people who are willing to serve and give of their time.

I personally want to thank the elected officer team for their unselfish efforts and participation this past year, as well as the support that we get from our membership.

I remember coming to my first ASSE meeting in 2001, wide eyed and somewhat lost as I joined in with fellow safety professionals. Now in 2009 I write to you as your outgoing President. I have every intention to continue to be an active member of ASSE through my Past President year and beyond as I believe that individually, and as a team, we can make a difference.

In closing, I would like for everyone to know that it has been a privilege to serve this Chapter as an elected officer and I extend my heart felt thanks for this opportunity that I have been afforded.

I look forward to seeing each of you at the July 13th meeting.

Until then, Be Safe!

Stanley Reid
