As we move toward the final months of 2014, we are starting to look toward 2015. The Executive Board has started the planning process for the year but we could use your help. We recently sent out invitations for the Annual Chapter Survey. Your feedback is key to our planning process! I encourage you to take a few minutes to let us know what went well this year and how we can continue to improve and bring the most value to our members. If you have not had the opportunity to respond yet, a reminder message will be sent out soon.
Another way to get involved is to volunteer as a committee chair or committee member. There are a number of positions still open and we could use your help. Our most pressing needs are for a Communications Chair, Social Media Coordinator and Chapter Development Chair. Our Law Enforcement Appreciation, Young Professionals, Women in Security, Private Security Appreciation, and Security Seminar Committees could all use some help and new perspectives. We hope you will consider being a part of one of these important committees. To volunteer or request additional information, send an email to: chair@asis-online.org.
ASIS NCC Volunteer Positions
As is our tradition, we will wrap up the year with our Holiday Celebration & Induction of Officers event. I hope that you will join us on December 10th from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. to celebrate with your fellow chapter members and meet your incoming Executive Board members.
Best regards,
Loye A. Manning, CPP, PSP
NCC Chair

Mentoring Security Leaders Program Launch
On Tuesday, October 7th, the ASIS National Capital Chapter kicked off its Mentoring Security Leaders Program with an event at the Embassy Suites in Alexandria. The event marked the conclusion of the mentor-protégé matching process and the beginning of the six-month mentoring period. Protégés and mentors of all experience levels and backgrounds had an opportunity to network and discuss their motivations for participating with others in the program.
Christian Conroy, the coordinator of the Mentoring Security Leaders program for the NCC, discussed the role mentoring plays in closing the skill gaps intrinsic to career pathways within the security industry. Mr. Conroy officially announced the mentor-protégé pairings and laid out recommended practices and strategies for getting the most out of mentoring.
The Mentoring Security Leaders program, which has been successfully piloted at six ASIS chapters over the course of two years, is designed to match experienced security professionals with individuals who are new to the industry or those looking to advance into leadership positions.

October Chapter Meeting
The Chapter's October Meeting was held at the new Center for Personal Protection and Safety (CPPS) Global Training Center in Reston, VA on October 15th. Our presentation was an interactive discussion regarding travel safety for business professionals and executives with Dave Benson, Chief Operating Officer, Center for Personal Protection and Safety. Prior to joining CPPS, Dave served as Director of the Diplomatic Security Training Center at the Department of State in Washington DC where he was responsible for the all Security, Engineering, and Law Enforcement training within the Bureau.
Dave's discussion included essential skills everyone should know for traveling safely in today's increasingly unpredictable, global environment. Additionally, he discussed best practices that should be considered for traveling safely in the international environment as part of the Executive Protection (EP) process and dealing with worst case scenarios.
The meeting concluded with a celebration of the Chapter's recent IB Hale Chapter of the Year and Newsletter of the Year awards.
We would like to thank CPPS for opening their facility to us and hosting our meeting.

Chapter Dues
As a security professional and member of ASIS International living or working in the National Capital Area, you are automatically a member of the National Capital Chapter. Each year the Chapter presents educational events and recognition luncheons, many of which are self-supporting; however, the website and communications media that advertise and drive attendance are not and present a sizable budget challenge each year. We invite you to support the NCC through our annual dues drive.
Through our dues and special donations, the National Capital Chapter also funds our Security Education Foundation granting scholarships to qualifying area students working towards degrees at the associates, baccalaureate, and graduation levels.
To carry on these worthy goals and objectives, the National Capital Chapter needs your financial support. Your annual contribution assures our critical programs and events are funded. Annual Chapter dues are $25.00 and we will begin collection of 2015 dues in November. Chapter dues are not included in your ASIS international Membership Fee.
To renew your membership dues, please visit our member portal.
Please note: You must be a member of ASIS International in good standing to be a member of the ASIS National Capital Chapter. Chapter dues are valid for the calendar year (January 1 - December 31) and are non-refundable.
