Amazing, incredible, awesome, and irreplaceable…we all know someone who is often described using these words! We are very fortunate in the safety community to count some of the finest professionals among our ranks.

Whether it was a single act that distinguished them, a successful project that took months, or they have a career full of being extraordinary, all of these safety professionals deserve to be recognized!

The Long Beach Chapter has a very strong Awards and Honors Program designed to recognize the outstanding safety professionals within our chapter, and the period to submit nominations is now open!

To nominate a safety professional for a chapter award, simply visit our Awards page. The different awards are listed, along with their criteria, as well as an easy to complete nomination form.

The Chapter is currently seeking nominations for the following awards.

There is no doubt that the global Covid pandemic threw us all off our game. ASSP chapters across the nation suffered as in-person activities came to an abrupt halt. Many chapters continue to struggle, but I am thrilled to report that Long Beach is not one of them.

The 23-24 term has really started strong, and we now find ourselves, incredibly, at the half-way point of the term. Looking back at the first half, I am amazed at what all of you accomplished!

The monthly Education & Networking sessions, held at Cal State University Dominguez Hills on the third Thursday of each month, have been an unqualified success. The sessions, which are offered both in-person and virtually, feature engaging and experienced speakers. Lunch is provided to everyone attending in person, and CEUs are awarded for every session.

Registrations for the monthly sessions increased by an amazing 2,000% in the first half—that’s not a typo! Nearly half of chapter members registered for the monthly events July-December 2023—GREAT JOB EVERYONE!
