Hello! I’m Mary Bainbridge, Chair of the ASSP Mid-Michigan Chapter Women in Safety Excellence (WISE) section.

Thank you for visiting our section. I’m excited to be part of a group where safety professionals can network and connect. ASSP’s WISE group supports members and the safety profession through education, mentorship, networking, collaboration, research, and innovation. You can join WISE by selecting it as a common interest group during your annual registration.

All Mid-Michigan WISE events are open to everyone—men and women are welcome. We host networking events, technical presentations, and community outreach throughout the year. Stay tuned for upcoming events—we would be delighted to have you join us!

Upcoming Events:

    Join us for our annual Women in Safety Excellence volunteer event!
