The planning meeting covered the Board’s normal business items such as Secretary’s and Treasure’s reports, Officers and Committee reports, planned chapter meetings and programs, to name a few. The new business items focused on setting the technical meeting sessions for the 2011_12 year. Several key topics for the upcoming year include:
Before the planning meeting, the membership was offered their voice of preferred topics, meeting venues, etc. by taking part in a Survey Monkey for the 2011_12 year. Eighty –Eight chapter members took part in this year’s survey. This survey does many things to help out the entire chapter, several important items we wanted feedback on include:

The ASSE Board engaged in discussions at our 2011_12 annual planning meeting.
This year, over 50 participants took part in the 15th Annual ASSE Golf Outing at Hawks View. The weather was fantastic along with the play on the course.

Every year since 1996 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has collected work-related injury and illness data from more than 80,000 employers. For the first time, the agency has made the data from 1996 to 2007 available in a searchable online database, allowing the public to look at establishment or industry-specific injury and illness data. The workplace injury and illness data is available at http://www.osha.gov/pls/odi/establishment_search.html as well as http://www.data.gov.
