Greetings!
The
National Capital Chapter hosted its annual Security
Educational Fund
Scholarship Awards night on April 13th,
honoring the ‘best of the
best’ students who applied in our
area. Scholarship Night is a symbol of
belief in the continuing pursuit of knowledge, and one way we help support the goals
of a new
generation of security professionals. I personally
extend our thanks and
gratitude to all our volunteers and contributors who made this evening
possible!
I also
want to acknowledge our members who support the SEF monthly with the purchase
of our 50/50 raffle
tickets (some even donating back their winnings!), and all
those
who quietly contribute to the Security Education Fund
when registering online
for meeting events. This endeavor
is possible because of you, our members, and
your gracious guests!
This
year our Security Seminar and Expo will take place
June 14 and will be enhanced
with the subject matter of IT and ASIS IT standards. Expert guest speakers are being lined up
for
this event so please check your emails for the event notice
soon to be
released.
As always, I look forward to meeting with you at a future
ASIS NCC meeting/event!

experience and certification.

ASIS NCC Young Professionals
Spring Networking Event |
|
The ASIS National Capital Chapter Young
Professionals held
their Spring Networking Event and Business Card Exchange
in
Downtown DC at the W Hotel Pinea Bar last month.
The ASIS Young Professionals group mission is
focused on the development and education of young careerists in the security
industry. The event was attended by a range of professionals representing
industries from Government to Small Business
and Large Corporations.
These networking events are a great way to meet
other
members if you are new to the National Capital Chapter or
have not
attended an event recently.
A commonly asked question is who should attend a
Young Professionals Event. The answer is not an age range; if
you support the
mission of the Young Professionals or are
new to the industry you are
encouraged to attend a future
event.
If you have suggestions or an event you would like
the
group to host, please reach out to Chris Czarnowski, Young Professionals
Liaison yp@asis-capital.org
Be on the lookout for more information on our next
networking event which we will held in Arlington this summer.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT - BEN CASEY
 |
|
Ben Casey, CPP, PSP, has been a member of ASIS International since 2006, and joined our National Capital Chapter in 2016, volunteering to be the Membership Committee Chair.
In his position as Director of the Arlington National Capital Office of JENSEN HUGHES, as well as Director of their Mid-Atlantic Security Group, Ben operates, manages and provides business development efforts for his team as well as the overall growing security practice throughout the entire firm.
Ben said he designs physical, technical, and operational security systems, and also designs and consults on fire alarm and fire suppression systems. A security challenge he faces is prioritizing and deciding on the best opportunities to pursue. Ben said “Being able to listen to client or prospect needs or desires and then turn a new request into an excellent quality design package…is what keeps every day fresh and interesting and provides fulfillment in all we do to protect persons and property in the built environment.”
In addition to being a licensed Professional Engineer, Ben has earned the ASIS International CPP and PSP certifications, which he said are necessary for his career. These certifications are required in requests for proposals by prospective clients and are mandated by different governmental and private organizations. Ben also credits the security certification training as necessary background development for security consulting and design services.
