ASIS Chapter 119 - Research Triangle Park


Happy New Year to everyone!

The first order of business as the incoming Chapter Chairperson is to thank Steve Vasques for his hard work and dedication to making Chapter 119 an extremely successful one. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, is to thank Jeannie Bailey for her DECADES of hard work and service as our Treasurer. They have both left some big shoes to fill. I also want to thank Ryan Moran for stepping up to take my place as Vice-Chairperson, Dennis Beck who volunteered to assume Ryan's old role as Secretary, and to Harvey Riddle for taking over the books as our Treasurer. As a team, we will do our best to fill their shoes and continue progressing as one of the best chapters in ASIS International.

UPCOMING MEETINGS:

Tuesday January 17th, 11:30 AM, RBC Center - Note that this is the 3rd Tuesday of the month as opposed to the regularly-scheduled 2nd Tuesday. Due to the compressed calendar after the busy holiday we felt that we would get better participation to push back the meeting a week. Our guest speaker in January will be Mr. Johnny Lee from Peace at Work. Mr. Lee spoke before our chapter a few years ago for a very pertinent discussion on workplace violence. The specific agenda for his presentation will be determined this week and sent out to everyone, but expect an informative and dynamic presentation to kick off 2012.

Tuesday February 14th, 11:30 AM, RBC Center - What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to spend lunch with ASIS Chapter 119??? Our guest speaker in February will be Mr. Sam Pennica, Director of the City-County Bureau of Identification (CCBI) who will be discussing the role of CCBI and how they integrate with local law enforcement and how they may be used as a resource for local security professionals. It's sure to be a great presentation that you won't want to miss.

I look forward to seeing all of you throughout 2012... hopefully more often than not!

Kind regards,
Ken Kendra
ASIS Chapter 119 Chairperson

ASIS Chapter 119 Members and Friends,

First we want to extend a note of thanks to outgoing Chapter Chair Kevin Grice who did an admirable job serving Chapter 119 in 2010.  We look forward to trying to match the high expectations that have already been set from his efforts in 2010.  Moving forward, the new board members have met and established two primary objectives for 2011:  (1) Improve communications, (2) Improve participation.  Already efforts have been to start heading in the right direction for these goals.  If you are a member of the LinkedIn online networking site, we encourage you to join ASIS Chapter 119's group as another resource of information and forum to discuss issues amongst other chapter members.  We have also begun the long process of trying to update this website directory and cross-reference against the database obtained from national to ensure that everyone is afforded the opportunity to get proper communications.

This Tuesday January 11th is the first monthly meeting and we will have Pat King, the Regional Vice President provide a presentation from the national perspective.  Additionally this will be an opportunity for the membership to speak out and express opinions, voice concerns, and offer suggestions at improving Chapter 119.  If you haven't already RSVP'd for this event, please do so by informing the board.  We already have a solid roster signed up.

Thanks again for your help and patience.  We look forward to serving you in 2011.

Sincerely,

 

Stephen Vasques, Chair
Ken Kendra, Vice-Chair
Ryan Moran, Secretary
Jeannie Bailey, Treasurer
