OA Board Member Chris Laszcz-Davis Wins Lifetime Achievement Award

    Chris Laszcz-Davis, an Orinda Association Board Member for 10 years, has received many awards during her distinguished career, but none more gratifying than her latest achievement.
   The 42-year Orinda resident recently received the American Board of Industrial Hygiene’s Lynn C. O’Donnell Lifetime Achievement Award. This is the highest honor given by the Board for Global EHS Credentialing to those making exemplary contributions to the practice of occupational and environmental hygiene over a lifetime of work. Global EHS (environment, health and safety) sets the standards of proficiency and ethics for EHS professionals.
   Laszcz-Davis, who along with her husband raised two children in Orinda, volunteers her time for the OA Board, Lamorinda Presents, Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary and AAUW’s STEM leadership initiatives. She also steps up as a driver for Seniors Around Town besides having more than 35-years of experience in environmental affairs, occupational health and safety, operational integrity, risk management and product stewardship globally – in government, industry and management consulting.
   Her many current activities also include serving as co-chair of the International Occupational Hygiene Training Association Board and as a board member of the California Occupational Health and Safety Standards Board. Laszcz-Davis also lectures and speaks frequently on emerging issues and leadership, has chaired and presented at numerous OEHS conferences in the United States and globally, and has co-authored and/or edited numerous articles and chapters.
   Recognized internationally for her occupational and environmental expertise, Laszcz-Davis was also recognized closer to home by State Senator Steve Glazer in a 2017 California Senate Resolution, recognizing her lifetime of “remarkable success in every avenue of her endeavors, inspiring others in her professional achievements and strong support of the community.”
