We are excited to announce the two student awardees of the 2023 Greater Boston Chapter Scholarships created in honor of former Chapter Presidents Ferdinand Schroth and Norman LaMontagne.

Awardee: Thomas Mulvehill

Thomas is a recent graduate from Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) in the Marine Science Safety and Environmental Protection program with a focus on Occupational Health and Safety. He is also the former MMA Student Chapter President and his leadership contributed to engaging MMA students in ASSP events and the safety profession. Following his graduation, he is taking a position as an Environmental Health and Safety Specialist at Fuss & O’Neill’s Manufacturing Solutions. Looking to the future, he plans to pursue safety professional certifications.

The Greater Boston Chapter of ASSP is pleased to announce Michael ‘Miki’ Alroy as our 2022-2023 Safety Professional of the Year. Miki has been a benefit to the chapter at the Executive Committee, Chapter Communications, Student Section involvement and specifically in our fundraising efforts via the Boston Open Scholarship Golf Outing (BOSGO).

Miki’s efforts as Chair of the BOSGO event over the past two years has brought considerable funding and visibility to our scholarship program. Miki has implemented an electronic payment system for the sponsors and the golf foursomes which has streamlined our processes. The increase in raised funds allowed the Chapter to increase the scholarship levels for each student. This year’s event will be held on Friday, September 29th.

In keeping with our annual tradition of giving the Greater Boston Chapter of ASSP is thrilled to work with Rosie’s Place of Boston the first shelter for women at risk in the nation.

Well you can’t hope for a better outing than we had this year. Unbelievable weather, an amazing course and great competition. Thank you Juniper Hills!!

Congratulations to Francesca Frederico and her team from Twelve Points for winning for the 2nd year in a row!!

Thank you to the sponsors, volunteers and players who made the 22nd Annual BOSGO Tournament a success and another record year of fundraising. I’m incredibly grateful to all of the sponsors, donors and GBC ASSP BOSGO & Executive Committee members for their support.

Thank you for being part of our mission to raise scholarships for our future safety professionals at Keene State, Mass Maritime & UMASS Lowell.

On Thursday, May 5, 2022 the Greater Boston Chapter met with Massachusetts Senator Walter Timility, sponsor of the resolution commending the Greater Boston Chapter of the American Society of Safety Professionals on their recognition of North American Occupational Safety and Health Week and Occupational Safety and Health Professionals day. 

Senator Timility is a steadfast supporter of our initiative to further the awareness of our noble profession and mission to see every worker return home safe and healthy at the end of each workday.   The Senator graciously introduced us to his peers as the resolution was read into the official record in the 192^nd General Court of the Commonwealth.

Special thanks goes out to Hannah Buntich, Chief of Staff and our own Tom Rich who leads this initiative for the Greater Boston Chapter each year.  Hannah is a fantastic partner for the chapter and understands the need to promote our mission.
