professional to business, the media, government
entities and the public.

Chairman's Corner
If you have not already voted
for the 2010 National Board of Directors, please
remember to do so. You should have received
an email from National with a link to the election
page. Elections are open until August 7, so
please vote.
It seems hard to believe that the annual
ASIS Seminar is two months away. It's being held
in Anaheim this year, and if you're attending, be
sure to register and make reservations for
accommodations soon. September 21 will be here
before you know it!
If you're involved in the bar
and nightclub security end of the industry, please
note that there's a training opportunity coming up
with the International Gaming Institute at UNLV.
You can find more information below.
The chapter is always in need of
lunch sponsors, so if your company or another you
know of wants more information about sponsoring,
please contact our Treasurer, Glenda
Gray-Meyer. Additionally, if you have not yet
paid your 2009 chapter dues of $30.00, please give
or mail that to Glenda as well. It will
reduce the number of invoices that we will need to
print and mail.
If you have any articles or
papers you have written, any professional news
about you or your company, or any other items of
interest, please send those in. We are
always looking for content for the chapter
newsletter and
website.
Thanks
and look forward to seeing you at the
meeting!

ASIS 2009 Annual
Seminar
September
21-24
ASIS covers the full
spectrum of security-all vertical industries,
government and private sector, the entire globe.
As the world's leading security event, ASIS pays
dividends immediately-and the payoff continues
throughout the year. You'll be armed with-and
energized by-the latest knowledge, technology, and
strategies to deal with today's challenges.
Are you
prepared?
More than two-thirds of security
managers reported an increased need for security
during this economic downturn, as reported in a
survey conducted by ASIS in January. This is the
time to ensure that you are conforming to best
practices and that you have the latest information
to protect your organization. If your company is
scrutinizing expenses, keep ASIS 2009 in the
budget. ASIS delivers a high ROI-and here's
why:
- Wall-to-wall
innovations. Three days for
face-to-face time with vendors, hands-on
demonstrations, and opportunities to compare
products and services side by side. It's your
one-stop shop.
- 160+ educational
sessions. Customize a program to meet
your needs from 16 tracks covering all aspects
of security. See the Seminar Overview (pdf) for
detailed session information.
- 22,000
colleagues. Countless, valuable
networking opportunities with industry peers and
leadership from around the globe.
- ASIS board
certification. Earn virtually all of
your annual recertification CPEs in just four
days or add certification to your credentials. A
great economy of time-and money!
Learn from the pros. All ASIS
educational sessions are vetted by your peers.
You'll gain the benefit of experience from
seasoned security practitioners and respected
experts.

The 2009 Reach Out! campaign runs from
January 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009. Awards will
be announced in January 2010. Recruiting a
member is easy when you find yourself interacting with
colleagues at meetings, online, on the job, or while
networking. Simply tell your colleague(s) how you have
benefited from your membership in ASIS and suggest that
they visit www.asisonline.org/store/membership.html to
learn more about membership and to join. If they
decide to apply for membership, they'll need to put your
name and employer (company) or phone number on the
membership application line: Person who introduced you
to ASIS. If they join, you get the credit. And we keep
track of your recruitment activity for you. It's that
simple. Sometimes, it may be more convenient or
more appropriate for you to provide us with contact
information for an individual who is a candidate for
membership, and we take the next step. Complete the
online Referral Form and submit it to ASIS
electronically. ASIS will send the individual(s)
information and an application. However, you won't be
considered the "recruiter" unless the new member
provides your name on the application as the person who
introduced him/her to ASIS
