CSO Symposium in BC

I was asked by the local BC mainland chapter executive, the Regional VP of BC & Yukon and Worksafe BC to speak to approximately 300 CSO's in British Columbia at the Worksafe BC CSO Symposium. It was a wonderful opportunity to speak to the CSSE members who attended as I stood in the CSSE booth, but it also gave me a chance to address potential new members. I was the Conference's opening speaker and I used the opportunity to challenge the audience on how they approach safety and to discuss options for professional development and also to fly the CSSE banner. It was great to be able to work with the local chapters and Regional VP to spread the message of what the CSSE is and what we can do to assist individuals within their career paths. I hope that the presidential role can expand into this area, as our organization grows. By the way, the membership applications and CSSE information were flying off of the booth's display table.
