Oregon Sharp Alliance
The Mission of the Oregon SHARP (Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) Alliance is to promote safety and health management and cooperation among companies and government for the betterment of all Oregon workers.
The health and safety of all Oregonians is of vital importance to the Oregon SHARP Alliance.
The March 2024 General Membership Meeting of the Oregon SHARP Alliance will be held on 3/14/2024 from 9:30 am til noon at Thermo Fisher Scientific, 29851 Willow Creek Road, Eugene OR 97402.
Join us for a facilitated, participant driven discussion about: How leadership and work styles are fluid and how effective leaders can shift their style when needed. None of the styles are “good” or “bad” and all can be useful in specific situations. Your leadership style is made up of your personality, your experience, and your preferred way of communicating. Understanding your dominant style can help you build better relationships with others, improve business operations, and increase self-awareness of the impact of your actions. The session will be facilitated by Jon Sowers, whose Health and Safety career in Construction, General Industry, Health Care, Emergency Services, and Oil and Gas has spanned over 36 years. He is a graduate of the University of California San Diego Professional Certificate Program in Occupational Safety and Health, Construction and General Industry. Jon's professional certifications include, Certified Safety and Health Official Construction and General Industry, Construction Health and Safety Technician, Occupational Hygiene and Safety Technician, Certified Instructional Trainer, and Safety Management Specialist. He is also an OSHA Outreach Trainer for Construction and General Industry.
