Greetings to All!
It’s hard to believe that we’re nearing the end of the 2023 first quarter already. Vincent has put together a very full newsletter this month, so please take a few minutes to review all the upcoming happenings and/or opportunities to get involved.
Our meeting this month is on Friday the 17th. Please plan to attend if your schedules permit. Remember, we still offer an online attendance, but we’d much rather have you in person. Please register and I’ll plan to see you there.
Has everyone signed up for the upcoming Regional PDC to be held in Tuscaloosa at the Bryant Conference Center? Vincent has more information on this available in the body of the newsletter. In addition, you’ll see the proposed upcoming slate of officers, speakers, and opportunities for the Chapter.
As for my safety minute/challenge this morning, please remember to say something when we see something. More often than not, we fix things without saying something. Go ahead and fix the hazard or hazardous conditions; however, also remember to report the event so everyone can be on the lookout for similar occurrences. In some safety cultures, the recognized hazard might be considered a near miss and we all know our programs improve when near misses are reported and acted upon as if an injury occurred.
I hope to see you on the 17th. Until then, let’s all be safe on purpose!
– Paul
