From the Chapter Council Liaison (Brandee Gary)

ASIS International is committed to promoting a program of mentorship within our community and to ensuring the standard of excellence for which our profession is known. The goal of the Security Leaders Mentoring Program is to foster mentoring relationships between security professionals, through which advice is shared with those aspiring to enhance their careers or advance within or transition to the security industry.

This program is presented by the ASIS Professional Development Council Mentoring Committee and is an exclusive ASIS member benefit. Learn more about becoming a Mentor today!

ASIS Greater Kansas City members,

A new feature that we are incoorporating this year is corporate sponsorship of the chapter website.  Advertising on KCASIS.org  provides your organization with an excellent marketing opportunity that enables you to reach a well defined demographic of security professionals. As a Chapter sponsor your company logo will be prominently displayed on a revolving  banner located at the bottom of the KCASIS.org home page. A click through on your company logo opens a page to your company’s URL that you define.  For more information <<Click Here>>. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR KC ASIS!

On behalf of the new board, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.  I’m hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season. Now that we are getting back to the grind, the board and I are excited to serve the chapter in 2020. I would like to personally thank the outgoing board, especially Theresa Bentch, for their service to the chapter and guidance during the board transition. We are excited to implement new initiatives, continue existing ones, and bring back some old ones. Of course, we cannot do it all by ourselves, we are going to need volunteers to assist with the multiple chapter committees.  

Our next Luncheon, ASIS and YOU!, we are going to explore the different ways that ASIS benefits the security professional, and how chapter members can volunteer their time and talents to the local chapter and ASIS International.  This is a very important meeting to start the new year off right. I would like encourage all chapter members to attend.  To ensure full participation, the chapter member price will only be $15, instead of the normal $25.

PLEASE BE THERE!

Best Regards,

Richard Dunn, CPP

KC ASIS Chapter Chairman
