he Center for Agricultural Business (CAB) and AgSafe are teaming up to bring safety education and training to California agriculture.

Representatives of the two organizations met this summer to discuss the possibility of AgSafe being based at the CAB offices in Fresno. With similar goals in mind, leaders agreed that joining efforts would be a benefit to the agricultural industry.

"It makes a lot of sense for the two organizations to work together. Safety is a major concern for the agricultural industry, and by teaming up we can make a greater impact," stated Kimberly Naffziger. Naffziger, in addition to her position as program development specialist for CAB, has assumed the AgSafe director's position, left vacant following the departure of Don Bennett.

The two organizations plan to offer safety education and training throughout the state. One of the highlights for the upcoming year will be the 5th annual AgSafe Conference to be held in Visalia (see story above).

For details regarding that event or other upcoming workshops, seminars and conferences, call (559) 278-4405 or visit the Announcements and Events section of this web site.

AgSafe is a non-profit organization that provides educational and networking opportunities for agricultural safety professionals. Call AgSafe at (559) 278-4404 for event or membership information.
