Veterans of Safety

One hallmark of VOS has been the continued, active involvement of our past leadership.  A typical business meeting has historically included at least 10 past presidents and four or five other former office holders.  Commitment from these persons has greatly benefited VOS actions, long after the years of actual formal leadership.
