Safety Breakfast

Join us for the Annual Safety Breakfast, one of ABC Western Michigan’s most anticipated events of the year—where safety leaders, industry professionals, and partners unite under our shared mission of Protecting the Industry.

This year’s featured keynote speaker is Astronaut Mike Mullane, a retired Air Force Colonel, veteran of three space shuttle missions, and a member of the International Space Hall of Fame. Drawing from his extraordinary career—from flying 134 combat missions in Vietnam to launching aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery and Atlantis—Mullane delivers a riveting and unforgettable program on teamwork, leadership, and safety excellence.

In his powerful presentation, Mullane takes attendees inside NASA’s high-stakes world of human spaceflight to reveal how teamwork and safety discipline make the difference between success and tragedy. Using gripping stories, humor, and real-world lessons, he demonstrates how every individual—whether in the cockpit, the control room, or on the jobsite—has a critical role in preventing “normalization of deviance” and building a culture where safety and accountability are non-negotiable.
