SCO Safety Alliance Meetings
The SCO Safety Alliance meetings serves as local support/networking groups for people involved with the challenges of the safety and health field. This event is free of charge with the exception of lunch (on your own), and is open to everyone. Each meeting features a speaker on topics of interest chosen by the group or a local tour of a facility.
There are four SCO Safety Alliance meetings held at the following locations in Missouri: Joplin, Monett, Springfield and West Plains. One meeting is also held in Harrison, Arkansas. Each meeting is from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. (presentation starting at noon) with the exception of the Springfield location which is held from 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. (presentation at 8:00 a.m.).
Anyone is welcome to attend, so please come join us!
Each location has a local chairperson that is nominated annually by the local group and appointed by the Safety Council of the Ozarks. The local Chair, with the assistance of a representative from the Safety Council, arranges for speakers, takes attendance, and coordinates a local facility for the meetings.
