Please share your idea on the direction you would like our chapter to proceed and how we can service you better. Please give us your opinion.

Like cordial atmosphere. Is it possible to get permanent name tags for members?
Sponsor ASSE training courses (safety management)
Leadership should move members to broaden interest. More effort in attracting safety perspectives from construction, hotel and retailing. We need to have broader appeal – outside insurance and loss control
Call me for more info.
There isn’t enough time and space. If you want to know give me a call.
Build a larger base of active members from different industries. Seems to be run by insurance safety people.
More commitment by those empowered to run the organization and to disseminate positive info to existing and prospective members.
Be the leading safety organization in Hawaii – link other safety/health groups together for networking opportunities.
Professional development of members. Hands-on opportunities, i.e., vendor bring equipment/sample to meetings.
Grow membership to include more people of industry.
Build study guides and build a library so professionals can seek safety certifications.
ASP/CSP training, providing assistance to local gov’t agencies and businesses.
You all are doing a good job.
?
With 40k deaths on the highways per year I believe this area should be given more space.
N/A
Stop servicing only Insurance industry – Diversification – focus on getting higher caliber training into our state.
All I need to do is find enough time to attend meetings.
More community involvement, kids to elders awareness; mall demonstrations, etc.
We need to get more chapter members involved. How about a program on voluntarism, leadership and why it’s important in our profession.
Utilize "panel" of individuals from various industries to share their perspective & allow members to address concerns with someone from the same industry rather than using just single individual for speaker.
Quick moving meetings – proper time & respect t speakers
I’d like to see bigger turnout at the monthly meetings.
E-mail is a wonderful thing & I feel more information with this means of communications.
Expand membership, focus & programs beyond the construction industry to include transportation, healthcare, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, etc.
Field site or plant site tours. More new product emphasis.
Membership ?; improved working environments; increase networking
