BCSP hosted the new Board Member orientation January 23, 2012. Mark Friend, J. Terrence Grisim, and Bruce Guiliani visited the BCSP headquarters in Champaign, Illinois to prepare for their year in Board positions. Rixio Medina, Vice President of the Board, was on hand to lead the process.

The new Board Members met with staff to go over how they would interact with individual areas within BCSP. They were brought up to date on current Board activities. The majority of the visit consisted of reviewing the process of Board responsibilities including; legal, governance, certification, finance and budget, marketing and business development. The meeting was capped off with a lunch with the staff and a visit from the United Way of Champaign County acknowledging the contributions of the staff of BCSP.

As part of your promotion of safety in 2012, consider taking advantage of BCSP's tabletop display system.

Tabletop displays are a great way get noticed, share your expertise and earn Recertification credit. A display is available to any certificate holder for use at chapter meetings, regional or local conferences, career fairs, and other safety-related seminars, meetings, and presentations. BCSP ships to and from any U.S. venue and provides literature -- all at no cost to you.

If you would like to request a display, fill out a Tabletop Display Request form and email it to Colan Holmes. As the schedule fills up quickly, we ask that you request materials six to eight weeks prior to an event.
