Safety Roundtable Event

Our March program will consist of experts leading topic-specific discussions at four roundtables. The table expert will provide some initial information and details regarding the subject matter and then facilitate a discussion and answer session for approximately 20 minutes. Each group will rotate to another table every 20 minutes. Please come with your questions or send them in advance so our experts can be ready for some good discussion and networking. Below are the table experts, the topic(s) for their table, and a brief bio for each of them.
