The ASSE Foundation is an organization that is close to Summit’s heart. Summit, a company involved with the safety industry for almost 30 years, believes strongly in the Foundation’s mission and goals. Less than a decade ago, Summit’s Founder and President Valerie Overheul, was appointed to the ASSE Foundation Board of Trustees. Valerie served on the Board for two terms, and was followed by Bryan Hornik, Summit’s General Manager, who took his position on the Board about a year ago.

The ASSE Foundation is an extremely important group in our industry. The American Society of Safety Engineers Foundation, established by and in partnership with the American Society of Safety Engineers, generates funding and provides resources for scholarship, applied research, academic accreditation, and related academic initiatives in order to advance the safety, health, and environmental profession (www.asse.org/foundation).
Summit participates in the ASSE Foundation on many levels. Summit is a Champion Corporation Donor, and has committed to this level of sponsorship for the next two years. Summit was also a key sponsor of the ASSE Foundation golf outing, held in conjunction with the ASSE Professional Development Conference, Safety 2010, in Baltimore, MD on June 13, 2010.
I was the lucky person to be in the booth when Foundation Board Vice Chair Fay Feeney stopped by to take a picture to represent being a Foundation donor. However, at Summit we see supporting the Foundation as a team effort and each person here helps to contribute to the future of the safety industry.

At this year's ASSE Conference in Baltimore, MD we were able to meet the student's who received scholarships to pursue their future in safety. They were so enthusiastic and grateful for the contribution from the Foundation. It was also exciting for us to see the next generation of safety professionals ready to take on the task of protecting American workers and the communities in which we live and work.
A donation to the Foundation is great way to express your commitment to safety and its a donation you can feel good about.
Stay safe.
