Message from the President
Welcome to the ASSE - Central Florida Chapter Website!
Welcome to your Central Florida ASSE Chapter website! As incoming Chapter President, I continue to be impressed with the progress the Chapter has made under the oversight and leadership of past Chapter Presidents Jeff Spackman and Kelly Bernish. Our monthly meetings continue to offer great technical information, tours, and networking with attendance averaging forty members and friends.
Please check our monthly calendar for meetings and other events. Our meetings are held the first Monday of each month (unless Monday is a holiday) at the Dubsdread Country Club located at 549 W Par Street in Orlando. This location was chosen because it is a central location for our membership who hale from Orange, Lake, Seminole, and Osceola Counties. Our monthly speakers are unrivaled, including high-ranking government officials as well as safety professionals from large corporations in every industry sector, hospitals, insurance companies, and educational institutions. We are currently developing our speaker list through June 2011 and I welcome your input on who you would like to see. At each meeting we also feature member spotlights to get to know our fellow members and see what other EH&S professional do on a day-to-day basis.
In my opinion, the networking is one of the most important benefits of our monthly meetings. The time before and after the technical presentations is invaluable and gives our members the unique opportunity to discuss emerging safety issues and concerns with their fellow members. Making these connections is so important to our members’ success and the success of their safety programs. The diversity of our members’ businesses and organizations brings so much to the table. Please join us - catch up with old friends and make new contacts with the best of the best in our profession.
A great way to get involved and make those lasting connections is to volunteer for one of our Chapter Committees. We have many opportunities to get involved, regardless of your talents – public relations, government affairs, awards and honors, membership recruitment and retention, newsletter/communications, and training/professional development. Let me know if you are interested in talking about getting involved at this level.
Thank you very much for visiting our website and we hope to see you at a Chapter meeting soon! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments.
