New Leadership to Enhance Farm Safety in Canada
The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) recently announced Sandy Miller as its new Executive Director.
Sandy's journey in farm safety began in 2005 at the Ontario Farm Safety Association, later serving as Account Manager at Workplace Safety & Prevention Services in Ontario.
Her deep involvement with CASA since 2011 includes roles on the CASA Council and Board.
Sandy's leadership extended internationally as she served on the board of the International Society for Agricultural Safety and Health (ISASH), including a term as President.
CASA, a national non-profit organization, is committed to enhancing the health and safety of farmers, their families, and agricultural workers across Canada. The organization’s efforts are supported in part by the Government of Canada through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
Sandy aims to strengthen CASA's initiatives, providing vital resources to the farming community and advocating for a culture of safety on farms.
Her passion for farm safety and her extensive background makes her well-suited to lead CASA into a future where farm environments are safer and healthier for everyone involved.
Sandy will continue to build on partnerships within the rural and agricultural community, ensuring that safety remains a cornerstone of Canadian farming practices.
"On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome Sandy as CASA’s Executive Director," says CASA Chair Peter Sykanda. "Sandy’s expertise in leadership, planning, financial oversight and stakeholder engagement will lead CASA through its next phase of growth."
