I really enjoyed browsing through the reference bookshop provided at the conference. There are some new resources and ASSE publications available and we will have to ensure that the CSSE’s resource section is updated and expanded accordingly. If you did were not aware that we offer these services do take a look on the website and feel free to order a book or two.
Over the last few days, both Wayne and I have had the chance to meet with executive and representatives from both ASSE and IOSH to further explore opportunities of partnership on possible initiatives. Being able to represent CSSE as a whole, build relationships and bring back information that can specifically affect each of our business units and initiatives has been an important task during this conference. Today I met with the new ASSE President – Mike Thompson – and we have agreed to strengthen the relationship between our organizations. We scheduled future meetings to specifically look at possible initiatives and programs that we can work on together to bring value to both organizations and their members.
I looked back over the last couple of days and realized how many of us from Canada attend this conference either as delegates or as speakers. I was wondering if we need to create a little CSSE networking opportunity and arrange an informal meeting time for those from Canada at the international lounge in future years? I could arrange a date and time and distribute the information amongst those who we know are going to attend or as a general CSSE communication. What do you think?
Due to the availability of spots to the Disney World Technical Tour it was full by the time I asked about it – so no Disney World for me this time. Tomorrow will be a day of travel from this wonderful adventure back to Saskatoon.
I would like some feedback from individuals who have attended both the ASSE conference and the CSSE conference in the past. What are some of the things that help you decide to go to the ASSE event over the CSSE’s conference? What are some things that we can learn from the ASSE PDC that we could do at the CSSE’s event that would bring extra value to those that attend? I look forward to your comments so that we can learn and improve.

I recently attended the ASSE conference in Orlando and want to express my thanks for Eldeen's wonderful speech at the opening ceremonies. She showed the CSSE and all its members in a warm and professional light - it was a class presentation. Her content, tone and length were spot on.
If you ever get a chance, get Eldeen to show you her Donald Duck safety book. It was a terrific visual aid and so appropriate for the audience and location.
Well done Eldeen!
