If you’re going to Safety2026 this year, there’s an after-party on the last day. It’s a separate event and not sponsored by ASSP. You can attend through our Chapter, and as WISE board members, we’ve secured a few tickets using the WISE budget. We’re also looking for volunteers to help at the event for four hours.  

The tickets are prepaid, and you don’t have to volunteer to get one.  

Celebrating HERstory in Safety

Wednesday, June 17, 2026 (5:00 PM – 9:00 PM) (PDT) // Anaheim, California

If you’re interested and haven’t bought a $30 ticket yet, we still have three available from the budget. So far, per our Exec Council meeting, Melonee, Mary H, and I will be there.
