Several groups joined the Alliance during the conference as Alliance members worked to update a consolidated list of members by region. The Region X VPPPA Northwest Safety and Health Summit in Kennewick Washington (May 2023) was also attended by the SHARP Alliance with Dale Combs and Mark Hurliman representing the Alliance.
The Blue Mountain Conference kicked off June 5th with a half day presentation by SHARP companies titled "Building a Sustainable Safety Culture" and, for the first time, four additional workshops were added including Safety & Health Topics in Spanish. Joe Esty was the keynote speaker on June 6th delivering an outstanding message on Active Safety to the 279 attendees. The SHARP Alliance recognized Craig Hamelund from OSHA as the 2021/2022 Blue Star Award winner and Dave Windsor of Cardinel IG in Hood River as the 2023 Blue Star Award winner.
