I am looking forward to working closely with our new Chapter Executive. I am sure you will find them to be energetic and focused on serving the security community.

2012 ASIS Toronto Chapter Executive:

Chapter Chair:   J.D. Killeen CPP (Past Education Committee Chair, CPP Chair, Treasurer)

Vice Chair:      Jason Ball PSP (Past Chapter Chair, Treasurer)

Secretary:        Silvia Fraser CPP (CPP Study Group Speaker)

Treasurer:        Mike Soberal CPP (Past Best Practices Chair)

The primary objectives for ASIS Toronto Chapter 193 centre around the themes of continuous improvement, serving our security community and participation.  In 2012 there will be a continued emphasis on certification study programs as we feel the ASIS professional designations are the cornerstone of professionalism.  On the heels of a successful 2011 the education committee is committed to offering both March and October sessions for CPP, PSP and PCI designations again this year.

Other initiatives include enhanced communication strategies to attract younger members utilizing social media including facebook, linked in, twitter and blogs to enhance visibility. There will also be a focus on serving our membership with timely and meaningful education sessions including monthly meetings and our Best Practices Seminar. Our chapter executive and committees are determined to continue the momentum from years past by reaching out to new members in order to stay relevant while staying true to our primary directives.

I would like to make special note of the following past Executive Committee members who have lead and guided the chapter tirelessly in the most altruistic way possible. We shall look to you for continued support, mentoring and guidance.

• Pat Bishop CPP
• Bill Bradshaw CPP
• Jason Caissie CPP, PSP
• Patrick Ogilvie CPP, PSP
• Paul McParlan
• Carol Lovell
• Jim Bradley CPP, PCI
