A highlight at ASSE’s annual professional development conference, this year titled Safety 2013, is the Executive Summit Panel Discussion. This year’s featured panelists: Robert Zaist, President of Energy and Construction, URS Corporation; Rafael Moure-Eraso, Chair, U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB); Lester Grey, Sr. Vice President of Operations, Perdue Farms; Stephanie Buchanan, Vice President of Operations, United Airlines, Houston Hub; and Virginia Valentine, Nevada Resort Association.
Rafael Moure-Eraso is an interesting participant, in that he is officially a bureaucrat, a political appointee, and not a member of the c-suite club. But he has extensive experience dealing with senior leadership of organizations through the CSB’s many incident investigations.
