We have posted two resources that provide key details on the current fiscal state of ASSP.

Due to the pandemic and changing market conditions, we anticipate a deficit budget for the next fiscal year, which will once again limit support for new, non-revenue generating programs and we expect to maintain many previous budget reductions, including volunteer travel and support for community programs at Safety 2022. As we evaluate these budget and programming impacts from an expense and member value perspective to inform budgeting for next fiscal year (April 1, 2022 - March 30, 2023), we will continue to communicate with you. Thank you for your leadership and support.

ASSP chapters and regions continue to see sophisticated spear-phishing attacks. Every e-mail user needs to watch for these targeted messages that appear to come from a trusted source, likely someone you (the target) know personally and often someone in a position of authority. If you or members are involved with chapter communities, keep your information safe and call or send a separate email to the person to verify they contacted you.\
