Walaski brings 30 years of experience to her new role, having previously served as ASSP’s director-at-large from 2018 to 2021. As senior program director at Specialty Technical Consultants and adjunct faculty member at two universities, Walaski has a demonstrated commitment to advancing worker safety and health.

Joining Walaski in ASSP's leadership lineup are President-Elect Linda Tapp, Senior Vice President Monique Parker, and Directors-at-Large Scott DeBow and Todd Loushine. Candidates for board positions are selected based on their involvement in ASSP committees, their industry experience and their alignment with the ASSP's vision.
