Jeff Spivey, CPP, PSP, Assumes
Presidency of ASIS International for 2006

Alexandria, VA (January 6, 2006) – Jeff Spivey, CPP, PSP, has advanced to the presidency of ASIS International (ASIS), the preeminent organization for security professionals, effective Jan. 1, 2006. He brings nearly 30 years of experience in law enforcement and the private security industry to the position, having spent the last 23 years working in and consulting to corporations on security management. Currently, Spivey is Director of Security Risk Management, Inc. (SRM), a security consulting firm he founded in 1989, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Spivey’s focus for 2006 will be rededicating the Society to its vision of “advancing security worldwide” by helping government and the security profession to develop effective strategies to address terrorism and other security issues, streamlining existing ASIS governance and volunteer leadership structures and processes to better manage the key challenges and opportunities that arise within the security profession, developing guidelines and standards for the security profession and promoting certification as a professional competency standard.

As “convergence”—or the merger of traditional and information technology security— has created a new paradigm for protecting corporate assets, Spivey will also lead the ASIS effort to ensure the successful integration of these two fields in the evolving body of knowledge in security.

Mr. Spivey is a graduate of the University of North Carolina (Charlotte) with a B.S. in Criminal Justice Management and holds the highest certifications in the security management profession, that of Certified Protection Professional (CPP) and Physical Security Professional (PSP). He has authored several articles in security trade journals and has been a featured speaker at various security, risk management, criminal investigation and counter-terrorism conferences throughout the country.

Mr. Spivey and his family live in Charlotte, North Carolina.

ASIS International (ASIS) is the preeminent organization for security professionals, with more than 33,000 members worldwide. Founded in 1955, ASIS is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and productivity of security professionals by developing educational programs and materials that address broad security interests, such as the ASIS Annual Seminar and Exhibits, as well as specific security topics. ASIS also advocates the role and value of the security management profession to business, the media, government entities, and the public. By providing members and the security community with access to a full range of programs and services, and by publishing the industry’s number one magazine — Security Management — ASIS leads the way for advanced and improved security performance.
