What a year it has been! Despite the challenges of 2020 (and 2021), ASIS members around the globe doubled-down on their efforts over the past year to realize remarkable achievements and contributions to both ASIS and the security management profession. From individual volunteers assuming expanded leadership roles to chapters nimbly transitioning from in-person to virtual events to organizations reaffirming their commitment to certification programs, ASIS members demonstrated that we truly are #StrongerTogether.
The annual ASIS Awards of Excellence celebrate the important work and accomplishments of these members worldwide. We honor them not only for their accomplishments but also to share their efforts and to recognize that they set the standard for the industry.
