The American Society of Safety Professionals, the world’s oldest professional safety organization, formed a board-level task force in 2020 to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion within the society and throughout the occupational health and safety profession.
After considering more than 80 applications from association members, Monique Parker, our Vice President of Safety, Environment, and Health, was selected as a task force member. Over the last 18 months, she has worked in a number of ways to help remove barriers to engagement and improve an understanding of important issues, speaking on the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion on safety leadership and program development.
In 2022, Parker was honored with the President’s Award for her contributions, dedication, and leadership in advancing the efforts of the American Society of Safety Professionals and the profession.
