ASIS Southern Connecticut

This is a very important in person chapter meeting (please see our events calendar for additional information)- agenda includes discussion of the possible dissolution of the Southern CT chapter based on no members interested in chapter leadership roles over the past 6 years. The next three months meetings will include this agenda item. If you are interested in continuing the Southern CT Chapter please attend this meeting, the current leadership is open to supporting a new leadership team if they present themselves and a 2026 plan prior to the final vote which will be at the June 24th in person meeting also at Orem's diner. There will be a zoom meeting on May 22nd at 11AM, a new leadership team should present their interest by and at the May meeting so that a 2026 plan can be discussed as an option to the dissolution of the chapter prior to the start of the 2026 year. If the chapter is dissolved it is likely that members will be initially assigned to the Hartford CT chapter. I would be happy discuss this matter with any chapter or ASIS members, I can be reached at my cell number 203 257 2570 or at chair@soconnasis.org

Best,

Felix Giannini CPP FPE
