Chapter Updates
ConferenceThe 16th Annual Region X VPPPA Chapter Conference took place in Anchorage, Alaska, May 11-13, 2010. The theme was "VPP - North to Alaska!" This was the first time the regional conference was held in Alaska and we were all very excited about it! What a beautiful location! We had many great workshops and sessions planned, as well as pre-conference activities. A VPP Application Workshop® was held on May 11. The keynote speaker on May 12 was Bruce Wilkinson, who discussed "Choosing Your Attitude - Taking Personal Responsibility for Success at Work." The conference sessions had four tracks: VPP Basics, Technical Track, Injury Reduction and Emergency Preparedness. There was also a five-session workshop related to Safety Trained Supervisors.
