This means that the results may be biased. They made more suggestions than we could follow up on in the next 5 years. What I asked A general questionnaire was used to ascertain member perceptions of ASSE-LA, what they would like with respect to meetings, what they would like the chapter to provide, what the chapter should be doing, how the chapter could best meet their needs, and any other suggestions they might offer. There was a strong preference for luncheon meetings. At 6 pm on a Tuesday evening, I want to be home with my family, not at an ASSE meeting.
LA is too diverse, there is no central convenient place for meetings.
Meeting Formats - Joint, Site Visits, and Professional Development meetings were most favored. Meetings are seen as networking opportunities. Several people mentioned the meeting at Hughes Aerospace, Universal Studios, and the Jet Propulsion Lab. Holding meetings at different sites and having plant tours to see how others handle safety was of major interest.
