Region III PDC Awards and Honors Evening
Region III capped off its 2026 Professional Development Conference with an evening dedicated to the people who make our safety community stronger. The Awards and Honors Evening brought together members, chapter leaders, and guests to recognize the individuals and chapters whose dedication, leadership, and service stood out over the 2025–2026 year.
From chapter achievement awards and Safety Professional of the Year honors to Region III Hall of Fame inductions, the night celebrated the work that happens every day in workplaces across the region, and the volunteers who keep our chapters thriving.
Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees, and thank you to everyone who joined us.
