Leadership

The Board of Directors diligently guides BCSP activities and establishes the organization’s course for the future.

Board members represent a wide range of industries, specializations, and geographic regions to most effectively serve BCSP’s diverse body of credential holders. They volunteer their time, without compensation, to provide knowledgeable governance, build collaborative relationships, and generally support BCSP in the mission of advancing safety practice.

BCSP solicits nominations for new Board members beginning in the summer and elects new Directors and Officers at the Board meeting each November. Except for public directors, Board members hold the Certified Safety Professional® (CSP®) credential and are experienced senior leaders in the safety, health, and environmental field. Board members may serve up to two (2) terms of three (3) years each. BCSP’s Chief Executive Officer serves as Board Secretary, per BCSP bylaws.
