We celebrated 80 years of Safety at this year's Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon. Not only did we give out a record number of awards, we also had the most number of first time winners, and we set a record attendance of 500! 

Congratulations to all of our winners, and a special thanks to those who are improving their safety programs each year to be considered for our awards. Our meeting would not have been a success without the support from our Board of Directors, our membership, and the most amazing staff! Thank you for making safety a priority in your lives and sharing it with those you work with. We look forward to another 80 years of safety and serving the Utah Communities.

Rod Hamson
President
