TO MAKE A RESERVATION FOR SEPT. 16 & PAY IN ADVANCE:
At our Aug. 19 meeting, JJ Coughlin spoke on cargo theft. He said Texas and California always rank among the Top Two states for cargo theft, and he said items stolen include the sort of things we'd want for Christmas -- Consumer Electronics. However, he added that Food & Beverage thefts rank No. 1.
JJ will be presenting an expanded version of his discussion at the ASIS Seminar in October.
Code of Conduct at Meetings:
As an organization of professional security practitioners, it is desirable that chapter meetings be held in an atmosphere free of uninvited commercial distractions. ASIS endorses a policy that prohibits members who provide and sell security or consulting services from initiating a sales effort immediately before, during, or after a chapter meeting while at the meeting location.
Adherence to this policy will result in maintaining an atmosphere in which members are able to discuss matters affecting their profession without being the object of a sales presentation. This policy does not prohibit an organized program wherein a service company may present the program from that day, nor does it prevent a member in the service industry from responding to an inquiry.
