    If a global or regional board role is not for you, don’t worry, there are dozens of other ways you can contribute to the success of ASIS and the security profession. Applications are due no later than 15 October.   

     

    ASIS has volunteer opportunities for everyone. Do you want to create content, author an article for SM, work on a standards technical committee, review GSX proposals, be a mentor… the list goes on and on. Step up to stand out! 

     

    ASIS Europe 2025 will be held 4-6 March in Dublin.  Have you got a story that will grab the attention of security leaders?  Can you educate, inspire and challenge professionals who deal with a complex mix of physical security, cybersecurity, business risk and leadership issues? If you answered “yes” to both, then ASIS Europe wants to hear from you!
