The members named below have helped GLASC grow over the recent years. We have held meetings at their locations, they have reached out to organizations to help increase our membership and have also helped provide presenters and lunch sponsors for many meetings. Not only that, these three gentlemen are also our GLASC Trustees. We want to thank them for their dedication to our council, therefore, on behalf of GLASC, presenting an engraved paperweight with a message, we would like to thank…
Brian Brough- SafetyWear- Martin
Ryan Griffin- Marketforce
Ryan Hasser- Huston Electric
These members have played integral parts of GLASC for many years but have especially helped with Platinum Sponsorships for our GLASC Safety Conference and Expos. That in turn plays a major part in the success of our Conference and Expo. We cannot thank either one of these individuals and companies enough. Therefore, on behalf of GLASC, presenting a Crystal engraved Award with a message, we would like to thank…
Dean Spahr- Ritz Safety
Derik Stohler- Ansell
The last two members we recognized, make it very difficult to put into words every single action they have taken over the years to continue to help make GLASC successful. Their personal hours spent in relation to GLASC is unattainable. Their selflessness is inspiring. The thought and effort they put into our Safety Conference & Expos as well as seeking opportunities to continue to grow our council is outstanding. We cannot thank either one of these individuals and companies enough. Therefore, on behalf of GLASC, presenting a personally engraved ink pen, we would like to thank…
