“Ken’s leadership and business expertise will help inform our decisions, especially given his track record of advancing diversity, equity and inclusion,” said ASSP President Deborah Roy, M.P.H., RN, COHN-S, CSP, CIT, FASSP, FAAOHN. “His commitment to workplace safety is respected across the industry, and he brings a business acumen and a strategic mindset as we move to a future focus.”
