:: President's Message

I am hoping that the 2009-2010 Southern Nevada Chapter Year is a year of change in our chapter’s future. I feel that our membership is the most important asset we have as a volunteer organization and without you there is no American Society of Safety Engineers. I am not planning on changing the safety profession during my tenure as President, but I do hope I can strengthen the base of our local chapter’s image to make it one of the best in Region II and the Society. The Southern Nevada Chapter has a great board for 2009-2010 with a lot of depth and I look forward in using the experience and knowledge of each one of them to accomplish my goals as well as those of the Society. A few items I have on the agenda for this year are to complete a Strategic Plan which will help guide our chapter in the future; Along with reaching out to our membership and letting them know who we are and what we have been doing. With these items I hope to have a strong sustainable plan for the chapter to build on and to get members interested in attending meetings. I believe actions speak louder than words so please know this year I am dedicated to building a strong foundation and taking the ideas and vision of our members to benefit all in the future.

I look forward to serving as your President and will be updating the chapter on a regular basis.

Ty Salazar
President
