The Southern California Joint Technical Symposium announces a call for speakers for the conference in Carson, California on Thursday, October 9, 2025. If you or someone you know is a dynamic, knowledgeable speaker with a presentation relevant to one of the broad subject areas listed below, please have the information completed and returned no later than June 6, 2025. You will be contacted a few weeks after the final closing of speaker applications.

The JTS audience is a professional, technical, and sophisticated audience of occupational and environmental safety, health and hygiene professionals.

The JTS seeks experienced, professional speakers who will leave attendees with a valuable takeaway related to OEHS practice.

On Thursday, January 23, 2025, the Long Beach Chapter of the ASSP hosted a special celebration to mark two significant achievements: the chapter’s membership in the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce and its first-time designation as a Platinum Chapter for the 2023/2024 term.

31 Long Beach Chapter members and guests enjoyed a fun and festive Holiday Gathering on 13 December 2024. This was the second annual holiday event and, like last year, was held at the amazing La Traviata Italian Restaurant. Everyone enjoyed some great food and drink, tons of laughter, and door prizes. Three Past-Presidents (Chris Rainwater, Karen Townsend, and Jed Douglas) joined current Chapter President, Luis Ortiz, as the chapter once again celebrated this wonderful time of year. For those who missed the event, there’s always next year!
