What Are ASSP Councils and CommitteesGettyImages-609408202_super

ASSP’s five councils and many committees are the governing bodies that, along with support from ASSP staff, spearhead the many initiatives, programs and services that benefit our organization, support our members and advance the safety profession as a whole.

Why Serve on Our Councils and Committees

Serving on an ASSP council or committee gives you an excellent opportunity to voice your insights and influence decisions related to ASSP operations while guiding our broader agenda on worker safety and advancing the safety profession. In addition, serving on our councils and committees is an excellent way for you to grow into future ASSP and industry leadership roles.

Help us match your skills and interests to open opportunities to get involved with our vibrant community of OSH professionals.
