Abstract
My main focus during the Conference was on making sure that the Virtual Chapter’s suggestions for four Society initiatives received a fair hearing to determine whether to go forward with the ideas. The Executive Council and the people who attended our presentations were overwhelmingly in agreement that we brought good and valuable ideas that should be implemented by the International System Safety Society (ISSS) as a whole, rather than as independent actions of our small chapter. These four initiatives are:
 1. Create a “motherhood” standard that describes the key goals and elements of a system safety program as understood and promoted by members of the ISSS.
 2. Assist university engineering departments with integrating system safety concepts into their existing classes and curricula, starting with Arizona State University but expanding to other colleges and universities in the future.
 3. Work to create system safety courses for system safety engineers that reflect the goals and elements of the “motherhood” standard developed in the first initiative.
 4. Create a means of certifying system safety engineers as having the experience and expertise necessary to be fully qualified system safety engineers.
