From the Chairman

Welcome Region IX VPPPA Safety Summit Attendees!

Thinking back to the beautiful setting of the Tucson

Starr Pass Marriott’s patio from last year’s Region IX

VPPPA Safety Summit, I remember discussing with

the Summit Planning Committee how to improve

upon an immensely popular Region IX Safety Summit

that had just ended. Although we were in the beautiful

high desert of Tucson, our thoughts quickly turned to the

enchanted lands of Disneyland. We started talking about all the famous

characters that have come from the wonderful world of Disney and the talk

rapidly turned to the subject of Superheroes.

It quickly dawned on us that our membership is made up of Superheroes that don’t wear capes, masks,

tights or costumes. Every day our Superheroes go to their worksites to coach, mentor and assist their

colleagues on matters of safety and health. This is done each and every day to ensure that everybody

walks through the door at the end of the day to see their families and loved ones. Superheroes also

do it in memory and honor of those who have been injured or lost in the workplace, hoping they can

make a difference and have an impact.

As we come back together this year, let's enjoy ourselves, but more importantly, let’s renew our

pledge to take something back to our organizations that can allow them to better manage the safety

and health of our worksites. If each of us does that, we will continue to show our colleagues, family

and friends that we are all everyday Safety Superheroes.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you on behalf of the Region IX VPPPA Board of Directors to

this year’s “Superhero Safety Summit” where you’ll prove once again that not all Superheroes wear

capes!

Have a Great Summit!

Terry Schulte

Chairman

Region IX VPPPA Board of Directors


Opening Keynote Speaker

Jeff “Odie” Espenship

While Jeff originally hails from Lake City, FL, he spent most of his childhood among the kudzu

and red clay of Georgia. Jeff chose the University of Georgia for his higher education and

enrolled in the prestigious Air Force ROTC program.

Due to his demonstrated leadership and officer ship skills in cadet corps officer training, Jeff

was awarded not only a full academic scholarship, but also a USAF pilot training slot. After

receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, Jeff spent a year cheating certain death and

destruction earning his USAF pilot wings. Having done this better than his classmates, he won

the coveted “Commanders Trophy” as the overall top graduate of his pilot training class. Jeff

also won the pilot training T-38 Talon’s “Hard Charger Award” for overall dedication to

excellence and training.

Jeff became a USAF fighter pilot flying the venerable A-10 Thunderbolt, also known as the “Warthog”. He was stationed

with the 18th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Eielson AFB in Fairbanks, Alaska. While there, he qualified as one of the

youngest 4-ship flight leaders in the entire squadron. He served as an instructor and was also combat search and rescue

qualified. He won numerous Top Gun awards for air-to-ground bombing and gunnery. Odie was selected to attend

The Air Force’s formal leadership training college for young officers, Squadron Officers School. Odie graduated in the

top 7% of the entire school of over 400 officers.

Due to Jeff’s outgoing, personable, always smiling, eager to please personality, his squadron mates quickly gave him his

call sign “Odie”, aptly named after the popular cartoon Garfield’s sidekick. Now, few people know Jeff by his first

name…but simply call him “ODIE.”

After 6 years of dedicated service in the Air Force, Odie decided to fulfill another lifelong dream by becoming an airline

pilot. He began his career with Delta Air Lines in 1992. He qualified on The Boeing 727, 757, 767, and McDonnell

Douglas MD-11. He also was a line-oriented flight engineer instructor on the Boeing 727. He also completed numerous

Crew Resource Management Courses, including “Cockpit 2000” given to pilots by United Parcel Service. Odie

continues to hone his flight skills as an international airline pilot, flying the Boeing 777.

Amid his tenure as an airline pilot, Odie also flew a 1943 T-6 “Texan” on the airshow circuit. A tragic accident took the

life of his brother, as well as the life of the pilot. This significant event in Odie’s life ignited the spark that helped create

what TargetLeadership is today. From those humble beginnings in 2003, Odie and his team has grown Target

Leadership into a well recognized brand for Culture-Leadership-Safety training among the nation’s top Fortune 500

companies including ExxonMobil, The Southern Company, John Deere, and Chevron.

Executive Blockbuster Session

Business Leader Roundtable

For all companies, achieving workplace safety and health success requires strong organizational

commitment, employee engagement and personal leadership. During this roundtable discussion,

executive leaders from several of Region IX’s finest VPP Star companies will share what having a world

class safety and health program means to them. Panel members will share how safety and health

management is viewed by those outside the safety profession and where they believe the value lies.

These perspectives are both important and invaluable in helping others understand the balance

maintained by senior leadership in organizations where world class safety and health programs are an

embedded value.

Discussions will surround organizational and leadership strengths that enable strong safety and health

management systems, such as VPP. In addition, leaders will share challenges that they have faced and

how they and their organizations have been able to successfully overcome them.
