                       Thursday, November 8, 2007

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the Central 
Valley Safety Society for their commitment to serving the Central 
Valley.
  The Central Valley Safety Society, CVSS, was created as a non-profit 
organization in 1996 to provide safety and human resource professionals 
with a place to exchange ideas and information, for the professional 
enhancement of members and to recognize those who excel in safety and 
health. CVSS is based in the Central Valley and is the only group of 
its kind from Los Angeles to Modesto. The long time organizational 
members include; Pelco, Rich Products, The Fresno Bee, Fresno 
Metropolitan Flood Control District, Fresno County EOC and Clovis 
Cemetery District.
  CVSS holds nine monthly luncheon meetings in downtown Fresno. 
Typically, there are 20 to 30 members present to discuss topics that 
cover a range issues from Heat Illness Protection, Hazardous Materials 
and Health and Wellness Programs. The speakers are typically volunteers 
from the community. Over the past 8 years, the organization has 
partnered with similar organizations in the Fresno area, such as; Ag 
Safe, Human Recourse Association of Central California, Fresno County 
Employer Advisory Council and California State University SHRM Student 
Chapter. CVSS has partnered with these and other organizations to plan 
and participate in a half-day human resource and safety seminar and it 
is held annually in October.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the Central Valley Safety 
Society for their commitment to serving the Central Valley. I invite my 
colleagues to join me in wishing the organization many years of 
continued success.
