Safety Officers and Practitioners Joint Annual General Assembly

It was agreed last meeting that this coming December 11, 2009 - all the three Safety Organizations here in Northern Mindanao namely: ASPPI, SOPI and OSHNET 10 will have their joint Annual General Membership Assembly plus Election of Officers plus Induction Program plus Christmas Party. It looks like four events rolled into one. Mind you, it has nothing to do with the financial crisis, it's just that we wanted to save time since most attendees are also members of these three Safety Organizations here in this part of the country.

To make it more interesting, there will be learning sessions in between. Tentative topics will be: Basic Industrial Safety Management and the NOSH Medium Term Plans.

This will be held at the newly opened Polymedic Plaza along Kauswagan Highway,Cagayan de Oro City.

Lastly,for all those who want to attend, please contact any of the officers of ASPPI, SOPI, OSHNET 10 and DOLE 10. Prepare Php 100.00 (min) worth of gift and an assessment fee of Php 300.00 will be collected for the food.
