Chapter Meetings

PASMA currently has two chapters, North and South. Each meets on a BI-monthly basis. Meetings are conducted at locations convenient to a majority of the membership. Regular meetings most often include a roundtable and a speaker presentation. The roundtable is an opportunity for all members to discuss their victories, needs and frustrations; this will help members to keep up-to-date on current events and topics, and reduce wasted research time. Speakers include Health Care Professionals, Emergency Planners, Specialists in Safety, Toxic Waste, Driver Training, Industrial Hygiene, etc.

South Chapter

PASMA South meets the 2nd Thursday of every odd-numbered month. Meetings were historically held at the California Joint Powers Authority, 8081 Moody Street, LA Palma, CA 90623. Due recent updates, meetings for 2025 will be held at Orange County Water District, 18700 Ward St, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. The meeting is free to PASMA members and $30 for guests and non-members. Continental breakfast is provided. For questions or additional information please contact Mary Ann Pham at 562-385-6840 or info@pasmaonline.org with your RSVP (preferably not later than two weeks prior to the meeting, please). Guests and non-members are always welcome!
