Area Director Welcome

Welcome to the Empire State Area of the ASSE. As Area Director I have the privilege of working with safety professionals from the four upstate NY chapters which includes; The Niagara Frontier Chapter, The Genesee Valley Chapter, The Central New York Chapter and The Eastern New York Chapter. All have their own websites which you can access from the National ASSE chapter search website.

Please contact them if you are in the area and would like to attend a meeting or would like to join and network with like minded safety professionals to improve safety at your organization.

The objective of the Empire Area is to facilitate communication between the chapters and the Region VIII operating committee and assist them in their efforts in improving safety in upstate NY. Any suggestions toward this goal are welcome and should be forwarded to the contacts below.
