Chapter Updates
ConferenceThe Region IV VPPPA Chapter is organizing its annual conference at the Beau Rivage Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, Miss., June 23-25, 2010. The official conference program as well as the Conference-at-a-Glance, the Region IV Mentoring brochure, the Mentor of the Year program and the What is Region IV brochure will be distributed before the conference and will also be available at the conference. Additionally, Region IV will publicize the election protocols and the election process. The Mentor of the Year program will be announced to let our members know how the Mentoring Program is progressing. The board is organizing breakout workshops and two pre-conference workshops: the VPP Application Workshop® and the Strengthening Star Quality Workshop. The flashy atmosphere of Biloxi combined with our dynamic kick-off speaker Jeff Espenship and motivational closing speaker Richard Hawk will project a feeling of professional accomplishment for the attendees.
Elections
Elections will be held again as we will have a few vacancies to fill on the Region IV VPPPA Chapter Board of Directors. More information will be distributed between now and the conference.
SGE
SGEs provide invaluable support to VPP in Region IV. Since the beginning of the fiscal year, 42 SGEs have assisted on preapproval and re-approval evaluations throughout the region.
This year we had two SGE courses at different locations. The first class was hosted by Kimberly-Clark Corporation in LaGrange, Ga., March 2-4, 2010. The second class, hosted by MYR Group/ L.E. Myers Company in Chattanooga, Tenn., was scheduled for May 11-13, 2010. If you want to be considered for SGE training, please look for future courses and send in your application to the national Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) office in Washington, D.C. Application deadlines are listed under the SGE Training Course section on page 50.
Mentoring
In addition to the numbers reported last quarter, Region IV has embarked on several new leads for new members. The list of activities will be updated in the next report.
