Leadership Conference

About ASSP’s Annual Leadership Conference

Volunteer leaders are critical to ASSP’s success, our many member communities and the occupational safety and health (OSH) industry in general.  

In 2023-24, we are excited to offer a year-round Leadership Conference experience. Through a series of webinars and virtual events, we look forward to expanding the opportunity for ASSP volunteers to connect and learn from our community of leaders. Get to know your fellow volunteer leaders and grow your leadership and team-building skills so you can be successful within ASSP and on the job.
