  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 twenty to thirty 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 eight 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

  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.
