As we close the month, we continue to count down the days to our NETS Annual STRENGTH IN NUMBERS® Benchmark Conference scheduled October 10-11, 2018 at the Omni Hotel in Frisco, TX. The impressive agenda and lineup of speakers is sure to resonate with many! Where else can you learn best practices and practical ideas you can immediately apply to improve your road safety program? Registration is on record pace so if you are not already registered, do so today! 

On another front, the past few weeks have also brought exciting news by way of the NETS Board of Directors. Earlier this month we announced that Toyota has officially joined the ranks of our NETS Board of Directors . This is a notable development as we look to expand our organization's commitment to road safety through engagement with one of the world’s leading automotive manufacturing OEMs. This partnership will enable NETS to immediately complement our current benchmarking expertise and bandwidth as we dive deeper into the vehicle design and technology space. During our October conference, representatives from Toyota will also take the podium to share the very latest in safe vehicle design and technology and have representatives on hand to interact with conference attendees for the duration of the proceedings.

As a final note, I am also pleased to announce plans for the first ever NETS Membership Referral Program which will be launched in the coming days. As many of you already know, NETS membership affords employers of all sizes the unique opportunity to engage on a myriad of road safety best practices, challenges and solutions facing today’s road safety professional. The NETS Membership Referral Program is also designed to reward our members by recognizing their engagement and enthusiasm for NETS as we work together to expand our mission of reducing risk and saving lives.
