Secretary Platform Statement

Anthony Krake Platform Statement

Being a new-comer in the safety industry right out of college, I was immediately drawn to the NJASSE for the knowledge I would gain through meetings, but also the networking opportunities that I knew being an active member would bring. Since joining in 2013, I never would have expected to have learned as much as I have from the members of the New Jersey Chapter. The years of experience and expertise from the members have been vital to my growth in this industry and directly contributed to the success I’ve had over the past few years. I am excited for the opportunity to run for Secretary and to give back to the members of the New Jersey Chapter whom have been so pivotal in the success I’ve had in my career thus far.Read More
