Hey WISE friends! It is easier to do a text update this month so I can link you to ALL THE THINGS…
Today is the last day of early registration for ASSP’s Safety 2020. If you’re looking to lock in the lower rate, register today! If you’re a student member, you get THE BEST deal for the virtual conference at $75. It’s even a great deal when prices go up, but save that money because you’re a student 🙂 All info and registration is at safety.assp.org
WISE Coffee Breaks continue each Friday at 10am CST, please visit the WISE group in the ASSP Community for the login info, or check out our Facebook and LinkedIn groups for the link and password. The coffee breaks have been a fun and unstructured way to meet new WISE friends and discuss collaborations between our group and other ASSP practice specialties and common interest groups, as well as ways WISE can deliver timely and relevant info to our members and the Society.
Speaking of virtual socials, WISE is hosting several virtual networking opportunities during the ASSP Safety 2020: Virtual event. Links for these events will be posted in our WISE group on the ASSP Community, our Facebook group, and LinkedIn group. Watch your ASSP Weekly emails for info as well.
Traditionally, WISE has offered a t-shirt each year during the annual ASSP conference to support the WISE Professional Education Grant. You can donate direct to the grant fund by texting WISE to 41444, a link will be sent to you to complete the donation. Please share this info with others who would like to support and #fundWISEfutures!
You may also support the WISE Professional Education Grant fund through purchase of WISE logo apparel and accessories at the WISE Store from Beeze Tees in New Hampshire and through the WISE Collection from Vicki’s Safety Creations. A special item was created by Vicki’s for Safety 2020, they are neck gaiters that can be used as face coverings, as many of you may be required to wear at your workplace or in public areas.
Last but not least, do not forget about all of the opportunities to recognize your fellow WISE members for their achievements. The WISE Member of the Month program continues fresh each month, use this link to submit a nomination anytime.
