ASSE Region III PDC Rescheduled for Spring 2011

Region III PDC has been rescheduled to Spring 2011. It will still be in Oklahoma City, but with a couple of additions:

• Adding a full day to bring the conference length to 3 days
• Incorporating the Region III Student Leadership Conference into the weekend prior to the regular PDC

We are hoping to get some of the student members to attend the conference since they will already be in the area. And an added benefit of the rescheduling, will be the marketing push by ASSE for the 100 Year Anniversary. If anyone has made conference reservations at the Marriot in Oklahoma City you should cancel them – no need to incur needless charges.

As soon as the new dates are finalized, they will be announced on the ASSE Region III website.

ASSE Networking Partners Program

Many ASSE members have been affected by the recession. Some have lost their jobs while others have watched their friends and colleagues become victims of downsizing and budget cutbacks. We know how hard it is out there and we want to do something to help. ASSE is launching a new Career Resources website with targeted job hunting tools for safety professionals including job search training modules (for members) and articles organized by subject covering topics like interviewing, job boards, resumes, cover letters, and negotiation. You can check out the new website here.

As part of the new Career Resources website, ASSE is launching a Networking Partners Program, which pairs members currently seeking employment with an employed member in their area that has volunteered to help them network and search for job leads. We’re looking for employed ASSE members to volunteer as networking partners. Networking partners would be asked to communicate with their job seeker on a regular basis, review their job seeker’s resume and provide constructive feedback, provide opportunities for their job seeker to network, and would help facilitate informational meetings. These tasks may seem small but they truly have the potential to change someone’s life. Whether you are a job seeker or a potential networking partner, you can learn more about the program by visiting our website. We hope you’ll sign up today!
