The Oklahoma Career Tech Safety Team is holding its annual conference at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, OK on September 23–25—kicking off as our ASSP Region III PDC (September 21–23) wraps up. Perfect timing if you’re already in speaker mode!

They’re looking for speakers now. If you—or someone you know—has a safety or EHS topic to share, they’d love to hear from you. Just send a topic and brief description to Bill Bean at bill.beane@netech.edu.

Great chance to share your expertise and connect with the Career Tech safety community. Pass it along! 🦺

RVP Abby Holovach hosted our end-of-term town hall fresh off Safety 2026 in Anaheim.

Here’s quick run down of what was covered:

There’s a place for you in your ASSP chapter — and getting involved is easier than you might think.

A chapter is only as strong as the members who pitch in, and the roles cover every level of time and commitment. Have a few minutes a week? Greet members at the door, help coordinate a social, or take photos at events. Have about an hour? Serve as a liaison, chair a committee, or lend a hand with communications. Ready for more? Step into chapter leadership and help set the direction.

Whatever you give, you get back more — a wider professional network, hands-on leadership experience, certification maintenance points, and the satisfaction of strengthening the profession for everyone who comes after us.
