James Hardie Peru Plant hosted the NIU Student Group. The team couldn’t stop raving about how great this group was. The team was extremely engaged throughout the 4-hour visit and asked some great questions. We are so fortunate to know that the future the safety profession is in good hands. I want to thank Kamran, Jailene and Dr. Hogan for helping to facilitate this event!

Our March meeting speaker, Scott Stoner with Rockford Systems, presenting on LOTO Program management as it applies to safety professionals to our chapter members.

At our February meeting our chapter recognized Sheri Lesak on her retirement from The City of Naperville. She has worked for the city for 30 years in their Claims Administrator and Legal Department. Sheri has been involved in ASSP Neil for many years and has held many positions on our board. She has also helped run and organize the Chicagoland Safety, Health, & Environmental Conference for the past 16 years. Sheri has brought her expertise to our chapter. We are very lucky to have her in our chapter and on our board.

Thank you for everything you have done and will continue to do for ASSP NEIL.
