Members,
ASIS chapters are a very important link between the membership and the organization. In fact, chapters provide the conduit through which many of ASIS’ benefits are made available.
Two of the main reasons for membership in ASIS International is to develop a network of colleagues and contacts within the security field for the exchange of information and experiences as well as to gain professional certification so that you may demonstrate your advanced knowledge in security management, gain instant professional credibility, advance your career, stand head and shoulders above the competition and increase your earnings potential Local chapters provide these opportunities as well as offering members convenient, low-cost educational programs.
Our mission in 2011 is to focus strictly on the value that we bring to our members and to our community through increased access to more valuable information on our local website, more convenient monthly programs containing recent pertinent security information and greater access to your board.
That said, we have a number of challenges before us such an identifying the most advantageous times for monthly meetings to garner higher attendance, choosing the best programs and keeping our website up to date with valuable recourses.
It is only with your participation that we will reach our goals and make 2011 the most active and successful membership participation year in chapter history. Our biggest mistake would be to believe that the Pittsburgh chapter board could manage this alone. A team composed of extraordinary individuals working together as a collective item toward the same goal can accomplish great things. Achieving a strong and effective team mentality however, requires a great deal of sacrifice, commitment and hard work.
The Pittsburgh Chapter board is filled with dedicated professional individual members working together to bring value to you for your investment. We will be reaching out to you for help with the 2011 Mission but do not wait for that call if you want to be a part of our 2011 team. You can reach out to me or any board member today to get started.
We look forward to working with you in 2011!
