Our September Social was a hit!  It was great to meet many of you and learn more about our Rochester safety community.  We would like your feedback as we look to always improve our chapter.  Please email me at jchristiano@divalsafety.com with any thoughts or ideas.

Our January 18th meeting was a huge success.  Over thirty safety professionals from the Rochester community joined us to hear Bruce Bolger speak on Transformational Safety Leadership.  He spoke about Sponsor-Target-Agent and how that philosophy can help you create a safer and more compliant workplace for your company.  Bruce spent time outlining Emotional Intelligence and how it applies to everything we do.  My favorite line was, “Let me tell you a story.”  That line can be used to gain attention and explain your viewpoint in a way that is understood.

Thanks to all that attended,
Jim Christiano

Thanks to Nick Donofrio for volunteering his time to present to our Chapter.
