2025 President’s Message
I am honored to step into the role of President alongside our dedicated Sacramento Valley Section Board. Together, we embark on a journey to preserve and ensure occupational and environmental health and safety in the workplace.
I am blessed to have an extraordinary Board by my side, whose support will undoubtedly contribute to a successful year for our section.
As we start this new year, we aim to strengthen the Sacramento Valley Section’s impact, engagement, and operational effectiveness in our community.
Our members are the heart and soul of our section, and our responsibility is to ensure that their experience remains fulfilling and valuable. If you have a topic for a presentation that you want to see (or present), or have a facility/site that we can set up for an OEHS tour, please contact us.
This year we hope to foster networking events with other organizations, including Sacramento Chapter ASSP.
I look forward to collaborating with all of you. Your knowledge and commitment are invaluable as we strive to uphold the highest standards of safety and well-being. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and eager to serve our section. I look forward to a productive and successful year ahead!
