Chairman's
Message
February 2005
As
2006 begins, ASIS International continues to grow and advance the
security industry not only within the United States but, truly,
world-wide with nine new chapters being founded in 2005.
But as the world-wide organization continues to grow, the
Southern Connecticut Chapter membership numbers are decreasing.
Attendance at monthly meetings is comprised of a small group of
members whose dedication to the continuance of our chapter’s
existence and our organization’s mission compel them to attend.
Where
are the rest of you? Our
Chapter’s membership stands at 215.
On average, attendance at the monthly meetings number between
15 and 20 attendees. Realization
of this fact asks the question, “Why don’t you come?”
In 2005 a survey was sent out requesting your input.
It requested topics that you, the membership, would like to
hear about. It requested
your feedback, your ideas, and your comments.
Above all, it requested 5 minutes of your time to complete.
Only 19 responses were received.
2006 must be different if the Chapter is to continue to exist
and we have taken the first steps to make sure it is different.
This
year will see a significant change in the focus and purpose of our
meetings. The Chapter will focus more on networking and educational
events. These events will
include networking events at the Bridgeport Bluefish, our annual Golf
Outing and possibly an “ASIS” night at Rye Playland.
It is our plan that the Bluefish and Rye Playland events would
be open not only to members but to their families as well.
I
am very pleased to announce that, for the first time in many years,
the Southern Connecticut Chapter will be holding an education seminar.
This is slated for late April and more information can be found
on the “Upcoming Events” page on the website.
We
will also incorporate changes in venue and the times of the meetings
in an effort to be “available” to more of the membership.
Due to this restructuring of the Chapter’s focus there will
not be a February meeting.
How
many of you remember the Snowflake Balls of years past?
For those of you who do, 2007 will see the return of this
enjoyable event and more.
These
are only some of the changes planned for the Southern CT Chapter in
2006. We are also looking beyond this year as to how to continue to
increase our value to the membership as a whole.
I
invite you to join with me and the Board to re-invigorate our
membership, re-kindle lost relationships, increase your knowledge and
renew your dedication to ASIS International and the Southern CT
Chapter.
Greg
Kalafus
Chairman
