Welcome to the 2018 Wyoming Safety and Workforce Summit.

I am pleased to bring safety and workforce back together for the sixth annual summit. The partnerships that

form in these sessions, in addition to the incredible information conveyed by the speakers, represent an opportunity to create improvements that would otherwise be difficult to foster. I thank you for investing your time today to build the foundations for great innovations tomorrow.

The Wyoming Safety and Workforce Summit is an invaluable resource in navigating changes to state and federal law; overcoming challenges in the workplace; and learning about innovations that will increase productivity and efficiency. The Summit planning team has brought together another strong lineup of speakers and workshops, but your engagement is the crucial element in making the Summit exceptional.

I encourage you to network and collaborate with members of both the Workforce and Safety areas while you are all here in the same place. Your involvement and your dedication will keep Wyoming on the leading edge of innovation.

Furthermore, I believe the sessions and the discussions today and tomorrow, as well as the future conversations with those you meet here, will position you to face the challenges and embrace the opportunities ahead for Wyoming’s workforce.

Thank you for your continued commitment to Wyoming, its safety and its workforce.

Josh BleillWednesday, 8:15am @ Grand Ballroom

After attending Purdue University, Josh was working in corporate America when, like many of us, the events of

September 11, 2001, changed his life forever. Something clicked inside him after that fateful day and, two years later, Josh followed in his father’s footsteps and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.

In 2004, at 27 years old, Josh was off to boot camp. And in 2006, he was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq.

Then, it all went black. A bomb exploded under the vehicle Josh was riding in. He woke up five days later to the realization that he had lost two friends and both of his legs in the blast.

He spent two years of extensive rehabilitation recovering at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. He currently has 32 pins in his hip and a 6-inch screw holding his pelvis together.

Corporal Josh Bleill is now a walking, talking, symbol of hope, using his story to motivate and inspire others. Even with all he’s been through, Josh doesn’t just believe in the American dream. He’s living it.

“It worked out. I’m not going to lie. I worked in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. I travel and do public speaking. The American dream is very possible. Even after something like this, so devastating that I thought things were over, it still worked out,” he said. “In America, if you keep working and things do go wrong, if you have that drive, it’s well alive. It’s always a possibility.”

Josh didn’t just survive. With the help of those around him, he found a way to thrive once again.
