Each year, our chapter communities provide local education sessions, networking events and leadership opportunities to help members to become better safety professionals. Thank you, to our leaders whose volunteer support sustains ASSP and helps us continue to evolve in more diverse and advanced ways than ever before. We are proud to celebrate your achievements and recognize the work you do as volunteer leaders.
