In 2019, ASIS launched an important journey to transition to a new global governance structure that allows ASIS to better provide service to its members at the local, regional, and global levels. The first major milestone of this transformation was completed on 1 January 2020 when the first ASIS Global Board of Directors began its tenure.
After careful reflection, the ASIS Global Board of Directors has decided to delay the selection processes for our North American Regional Board and European Regional Board until 2021. This includes the election of the European Regional Board of Directors Nominating Committee. This may or may not impact the planned formation in 2021 of Regional Advisory Committees. We will make this determination in Q4 of 2020.
ASIS International regrets this delay in its plan to transition. We remain committed to resuming this important step next year.
Please know that we did not make this decision lightly. Given the circumstances with which we are all faced, ASIS opted for the change to ensure our members have the time and focus to apply for these important roles within ASIS International. Our primary focus, particularly in the age of COVID-19, is to provide resources, tools and opportunities for our members to succeed now and in the future.
We thank you for your understanding. If you have questions, please refer them to ASIS CEO Peter O’Neil or Chief Global Membership Officer Susan Mosedale.
