Offshore wind is transforming the energy landscape in the United States, bringing with it new opportunities, unique hazards, and advanced safety challenges. The Greater Boston Chapter of ASSP invites you to an exclusive evening that combines a behind-the-scenes tour of the Wind Technology Testing Center (WTTC) with a technical presentation from internationally recognized leaders in offshore wind safety.

This is a rare opportunity to see the technology and innovation driving renewable energy, while learning about the standards and practices that keep workers safe in some of the most demanding environments in the world. Following the program, attendees are invited to join us at the Monument Restaurant & Tavern in Charlestown for a networking social to continue the conversation and build professional connections.

The 25th Anniversary of the Greater Boston Chapter’s BOSGO did not disappoint.

Leading up to the tournament, the forecast of rain had us nervous, but a high-pressure system pushed the weather out of Massachusetts and gave us one of the best golf days in recent memory.

Of course, it wasn’t just the sunshine that made this year special. We not only met our fundraising goal of $30,000—we exceeded it. Thanks to the generosity of our players, sponsors, 50/50 raffle, and Golf Cannon hole, BOSGO 2025 raised $35,000. Net proceeds will directly support student scholarships and activities for local students pursuing careers in occupational safety and health, ensuring that the next generation of safety leaders across New England have the resources they need to succeed.
