This was the last day of the conference. It was the last opportunity to walk the floor to decide what we liked about the exhibition area and to confirm some of the items that we like about ours. We took advantage of being close to SMART-ISO product representative and had a meeting with him. We further discussed international group organization and possible working relationships with David Evans – the International Group Chair and Sasha Lemon the IOSH manager in the area.
The first picture shows myself with the IOSH president Ray Hurst, ASSE president – Mike Thompson, and SC2 General Manager – Harry Ho.
The second picture shows Nattasha Freeman, the incoming IOSH President with Mike and myself. Nattasha will be President when Art Nordholm takes over role of President for the CSSE.
Presidents are challenged to share and participate and to remember all the information that we gather at these opportunities. I have to say that Wayne helps keep me on the straight and narrow, to ensure I do not get caught up in the energy of this and get carried away – which believe me is easy to do. Having Wayne at these events and conferences allows for the continuity of information shared and ensures meaningful relationships are built. I just want to thank Wayne for being there and for helping carry the large load of information that we are bringing back on behalf of the CSSE.
In the evening of our last night at conference, I spent a great dinner with and had a wonderful discussion with ASSE president – Mike Thompson, Fred Fortman, and Dewy Whitmore and his wife. We talked about relationships and how important they are to learn and grow as a safety professional and as an organization – this last evening proved that once again.
Wayne Glover, our Executive Director stayed on a couple of more days to go to the IOSH office with a list of questions and items seeking additional information. It was a great opportunity to learn about our organizations’ similarities and what we might be able to do together in the future.
