Protection of Assets (POA) is considered the premier reference for the
security professional. Written, edited, and updated by hundreds of security
subject matter experts, it covers the full spectrum of physical, information
and personnel security.
POA is used by security management directors and others responsible for
corporate asset protection, and is the primary reference for the CPP exam.
POA is available as an online subscription, an eight-volume print set, as individual books, and on Kindle. It is also available in Spanish as a seven-volume print set, or on Kindle as two volumes: Volumen Uno and Volumen Dos.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Kathy Lavinder

If you ask Kathy Lavinder to describe her employment history, she will tell you she is a bit of a chameleon.
Seventeen
years ago, Lavinder founded her recruiting firm, Security &
Investigative Placement Consultants LLC, and as the owner/Executive
Director, “does it all”. She develops clients, executes on
recruiting engagements, interacts with candidates and job seekers,
handles administrative tasks and provides guidance and support for two
recruiters who work with her.
Kathy began her career as a broadcast journalist, and worked as a TV reporter/anchor, then a producer, writer and manager for ABC News. After moving to the DC area, Kathy applied her interviewing skills to her role as a private investigator working for Investigative Group International.
Kathy said she quickly realized the extent to which security issues and investigative matters relate to each other. She had a eureka moment while recruiting for several roles at the firm and decided to start a niche recruiting firm specializing in filling security and investigative roles. Her company delivers highly qualified and diverse candidates, the best of the best, to clients across the U.S. and around the world.
Kathy has been involved with ASIS and the ASIS NCC for more than 17 years and said ASIS is the most collegial group she has found. “I value the sharing, peer-to-peer learning, networking and dedication to professionalism. Simply put ASIS helps me do my job better”, Kathy said.
She also likes that the NCC is creative in its offerings, taking members ‘behind the scenes’ to learn about security challengers within a variety of organizations in the region. “No matter the topic or the event, I always enjoy catching up with colleagues and hearing from high-caliber speakers”, Kathy said.
