The Region III of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) is proud to participate in a nationwide research study in collaboration with 37 Qualified Academic Programs (QAPs) across the U.S. Together, we are exploring how safety professionals grow and evolve throughout their careers, and your insights are vital to this effort.

We are seeking input from ASSP members and safety professionals at all stages of their careers, from students to senior safety leaders, aged 18 to 90.

Why Participate?

• Your feedback will help shape future learning models, professional development programs, and emerging leadership theories in the safety profession.
• The survey is entirely anonymous and does not collect any personal identifying information.
• You will answer basic demographic and career-related questions, followed by 24 multiple-choice items assessing locus of control.
• The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Whether you’re just starting or are a seasoned leader, your voice matters in shaping the future of safety practice.

Make your experience part of the solution.

December 2024: Skipper Kendrick and Joel Tietjens presented Frank Perry with his Hall of Fame Award. Joel had this to say regarding Frank.

In September of this year at the ASSP Region III PDC, Frank Perry, CSP, PE, FASSP was inducted into the Region III Hall of Fame (HOF). Unfortunately, Frank and his wonderful wife, Anne, could not join us for this event. So, we did the next best thing and “hand delivered” the award medallion to him. On Thursday, December 12th, Skipper Kendrick (past society president & FASSP) and I had the great pleasure of personally presenting Frank with his HOF medallion at his and Anne’s home on the lake. Frank served as the ASSP Gulf Coast Chapter president, Region III vice president (two terms), and worked his way “up the ladder”, to being ASSP’s Society president and received ASSP’s highest recognition of Fellow. Frank is one of the finest gentlemen I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and having the privilege of serving with in ASSP. We had a wonderful lunch and a great time telling tales and reminiscing. Thank you, Frank, for all your years of service to the safety profession and most of all, being just a darn good friend.
