Just a reminder of our upcoming meetings, our April meeting will be Monday, April 23rd at Darryl’s Wood Fired Grill on High Point Road, here in Greensboro starting @ 11:30am. Dennis Parnell, from the NC Industrial Commission will be our speaker and we will be honoring our Safety Professional of the Year, Service Award winner, and hold our officer elections. In May we will be joining all of the North Carolina ASSE Chapters for a luncheon at the NC Safety Conference at the Koury Convention Center on May 16th @ 12 noon. The speaker will be Richard Pollock, our incoming ASSE President. I have heard Richard speak before and you do not want to miss it. We have advance tickets; if you are interested contact me @ vjohnson@lortobco.com.

Our Region 6 Professional Development Conference is set for Sept. 19th-21st in Myrtle Beach, SC. This is a great conference to attend and we as a chapter are still looking for a liaison to represent us at the conference. By being a liaison, you conference fee will be reduced to $100 and that will be paid by the chapter. If you are interested, please let me know by June 1st, if you would like to be a liaison at the conference.

I hope everyone is enjoying the great spring weather and taking advantage of these educational opportunities.

Be Safe,

Van Johnson
President.
