Hudson River Valley's First Ever Vendor Palooza
What is a VENDOR PALOOZA?
Think of it as attending a trade show where the vendors come to you instead of you going to the vendor.
It is your opportunity to see what local vendor representative’s offer. Large and small vendors will be giving a 5 minute pitch on the product or products that they believe will help make your company safer.
That’s right vendors will have 5 minutes to capture your interest and then they are off the stage. If you are interested in any of the items presented you can then follow up with the vendor after the palooza – during brunch or at a later date.
Who should attend the VENDOR PALOOZA?
- Anyone responsible for safety at your site.
- Anyone that is looking for the answer to a safety problem.
- Anyone that has not been able to get to a trade show in the last year.
- Anyone interested in having fun, networking with local peers, and watching vendor’s work.
- Anyone looking for a free brunch…
Who are the Vendor’s?
Bullard, Moldex, Scott Health & Safety, Turtle Skin, Miller, 3M, Kimberly Clark, Master Lock, AO Safety, and DiVal Safety.
The vendor’s reps are all people that live in the New England or Atlantic region and support our area for their company.
What else is can you get while attending the VENDOR PALOOZA?
- Every vendor is bringing a door prize to be raffled at the end of the palooza.
- Networking with peers in your area
- Door prizes
- AND FREE FOOD

American Society of Safety Engineers Announce New Hudson River Valley Chapter
Contact: Suzanne May, 845-978-2090, smay4@wm.com
CARMEL, NY (March 2006) – The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) recently announced the establishment of the new Hudson River Valley Chapter in New York. The new ASSE Hudson River Valley Chapter formed out of the Westchester Section of the existing New York City-based ASSE Metropolitan Chapter due to the growing needs of members north of New York City. With the addition of the new chapter, ASSE now consists of 150 chapters globally.
The new chapter includes ASSE members from geographical areas north of New York City including the Westchester, Orange, Rockland, Putnam and surrounding counties. Meetings will be held at various locations throughout those areas. The new chapter executive board includes: Suzanne May, President; Stacy Irvine, President-Elect; Gary Hohenstein - Secretary; and James Bohren - Treasurer.
According to the executive board, commuting to New York City for Metro Chapter meetings was difficult for those in their geography – often requiring the better part of a day. Having meetings closer to members’ homes and offices provides Hudson River Valley members with a more time-effective way to participate, network with other professionals and gain technical knowledge.
Some of the activities ASSE Hudson River Valley Chapter members plan on developing are working with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to help train high school students at local technical schools in safety and health and sponsoring or co-sponsoring a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) preparation course.
The immediate goals of the chapter include building membership, continuing collaboration with other area safety organizations, such as the American Society of Quality (ASQ), as well as getting the word out about the new chapter. Hudson River Valley will continue to collaborate with the ASSE Metropolitan Chapter with joint meetings and social events as well as sharing information about meetings.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the largest and oldest professional safety organization and has more than 30,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members who manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor and education.
