Message from Michiel Majors, Chapter Chairperson:
“With the recent events surrounding the Coronavirus, and the impacts that it has made upon all of our daily lives, I wanted to send out a message to our members and attendees.
In this trying time, we must remember that we are in this together and no matter the obstacles, the Santiam Section of the ASSP will work diligently to support each of our members to meet our mission of promoting safety and health in the workplace. With that being said, we’ve had to work through a number of obstacles and regrettably had to cancel one of our meetings and postpone most of our events. However, through the commitment of our Executive Board we have decided to move into the world of virtual online meetings and in May we will host our Section’s first virtual meeting. The focus of this virtual meeting will be on sharing resources with one another and answering questions, along with maintaining some social connections while we practice physical distancing.
Please reach out to me directly or any member of the Santiam Section Executive Board if you have questions or need any assistance.”
