Greetings Fellow Security Practitioners,
I am excited to serve as your Chapter Chairperson for the Greater Orlando Chapter of ASIS International in 2023. We have assembled impressive Board and Committee members and we have an adventurous year ahead of us!
We recognized that the Chapter would not be successfully without our members and volunteers and we are extremely grateful. As you already know, our Chapter Leadership positions are volunteer positions, and serving our local security community is our greatest goal!
That said, our local chapter provides:
* A local network of security professionals
* A local resource to assist in your professional goals
* A local resource for ASIS International
* Relevant educational opportunities
* High quality social and charity events
* Security mentoring capabilities
* Special recognition and awards for outstanding achievement in security and law enforcement
* And much more!
Our key strategies for 2023:
* Chapter Branding: Continue to refine our marketing strategy, with emphasis on keeping our chapter website, newsletter, and social media current to enhance our chapter's "brand"
* Membership: Increase overall membership and membership involvement, with a focus on Young Professionals and Women in Security.
* Events: Reimagine and relaunch our signature events to include: 2023 Protectors Awards (Formerly: Security Officer Awards & Recognition and Law Enforcement Officer Awards); Chapter Field Trip, Chapter Social Gatherings and the Annual Golf Outing,
* Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Maintain and promote a depth in chapter diversity, equity and inclusion with respect for all.
In conclusion, I want to say thanks for all you do and don’t forget to set your calendar for the 2024 GSX Security Conference which will be held in Orlando, Florida and hosted by the Greater Orlando Chapter!
Stay safe and remember, we are stronger together!
- Earl Biggett CPP, Chapter Chair
*** The Greater Orlando Chapter is a not-for-profit organization of security professionals. Our chapter leadership positions are all volunteers. Greater Orlando Chapter Membership is separate from ASIS International and we require an annual $45 donation. This is used to assist in subsidizing many of the events throughout the year.
