ASSP, Greater Baton Rouge Chapter’s Post

Y'all, let me tell you something..... I am living my best life! I've had the distinct honor to speak and teach at conferences over the last couple of weeks (#Safety24 and MAD SCCi), and next on the list is the Region VI - American Society of Safety Professionals PDC from September 18-20 in Virginia Beach, VA. I'll be teaching a 4-hour version of my "Leading with CARE Tactics" leadership development class at the pre-con and then giving a talk later in the week called "Use CARE Tactics, Not Scare Tactics: Refining Safety Through Science." In addition to the talks, I will be representing the ASSP Northern Virginia as a liaison, where I will introduce some speakers throughout the week. A little birdie told me some of my safety friends will be there, such as Pam Walaski, CSP, FASSP, Tim Page-Bottorff MS, CSP, CIT, Brandy Zadoorian, CSP, CSD, and Christina Roll, MS, CIH, CSP. I can't tell you how pumped about that! Also, I need to give a shoutout to another safety friend, Heather White, MIE, CPE, ASP, who will be teaching a pre-con on Manual Materials Handling: Risk Assessment and Solutions. If you don't know Heather, she is a LEGIT person and ergo-master! Let me know if you will be at the #RegionVIPDC #ProfessionalDevelopment #LearningTogether #CARETactics #ChangeChampions

For electric cooperatives, safety isn't just a priority – it's a lifeline. Our linemen work in environments with high voltage electricity, elevated structures and potentially hazardous conditions. Proper training equips them with the knowledge needed to protect themselves from these dangers, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries – and making sure they get home to their families each night. Coming together at NRECA's Safety Leadership Summit next week gives us a chance to continue our mission to power communities and improve lives, and not lose sight of the critical importance of safety. #coopsafety #safetyfirst #electriccoops 💡 🔌 ⚡

Couldn't make it in person (due to work) but I was able to attend virtually. It was a pleasure attending my first Business and Industry Leadership Team (BILT) committee meeting today for FSCJ IT Security degree program along side my 9th Bridge Jacksonville family Douglas Bryant Jr. The BILT committee serves as an advisory system to help design the IT Security degree curriculum for FSCJ to assure graduates are Industry ready. When you have a passion for something it's never work it's a calling. #ITSECURITY #cyberdefense #cyberawareness
