ABC Greater Michigan Chapter held its annual awards presentation event on Thursday, September 13th at the Kellogg Center, downtown Lansing.  
 
The evening kicked off with a rousing keynote speech by Michigan Lieutenant Governor candidate Lisa Postumous Lyons!  Mrs Lyons who had recently lost her family home to a fire reminded the audience about the importance of elections and staying engaged and her presence was a great example of that!  
 
The chapter was proud to announce the member companies that won the 2018 Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) Awards. STEP recognizes ABC member companies who consistently excel in the field of safety, but more importantly it provides an evaluation tool to help identify areas to improve a company’s safety program.
