President's Message

Happy New Year All!

We have an exciting year teed up for our Chapter in 2016! Plans and work are underway for another Professional Member event scheduled for Thursday, April 7. Please go ahead and block it out on your calendars. More information and details will be forthcoming.

In no time at all will be our annual golf event. The golf committee is already hard at work to make it a success once again. We have some wonderful lunch programs scheduled. As we make our way into the New Year, would each of you consider how you might be more involved and satisfied with our Chapter in 2016? We would love to have you more engaged, or if you are engaged, how we might be cognizant of anything we can do to leverage your strengths and skills. Don’t hesitate to speak with the leadership.

As always, I am thankful for the people who make our Chapter so successful!

January Luncheon

Please join us on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at Brier Creek Country Club for an Intro to OSH + Workplace Hazard Slideshow with Tom Wilder with NCDOL.  This is a timely topic as we are all concerned about the safety and welfare of our building users.

Tom Wilder is a training, safety and quality professional with over 28 years of manufacturing experience in pharmaceuticals, textiles and machine assembly.  After retiring from the pharmaceutical industry, Tom originally joined NCDOL as a Safety Education Specialist in August 2010 for about 3 years.  Then, after leaving for the private sector for 22 months, Tom rejoined NCDOL in late March 2015 to help NCDOL continue to take the quality of safety and health outreach efforts to higher levels. 

Tom’s safety experience includes certification (MESH, C-MESH, IH-MESH, OTI 500, OTI 501, and Advanced Safety Certificate), safety program management, hazardous waste management, contractor safety management, industrial hygiene, SDS management and environmental management.  Tom is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in Zoology and is a lifelong North Carolina resident.
