Getting Involved - Get Noticed
For the last four years, the SFBA Chapter has had a website that has been growing by leaps and bounds. Each year we have added additional website features that have invited our members to become more involved with ASIS and with our Chapter. In this issue, I will be reviewing some of the ways that you can contribute to our website and to share with your fellow Chapter members.
Share Your Success. In our Member Achievements area, you can share your professional achievements and accomplishments with the rest of our Chapter (and the whole Cyber-world).
Are you a CPP? Our CPP Member Profiles are modeled after those presented by ASIS International headquarters. Submit your own CPP Member Profile or update your existing one in our index of SFBA CPP members.
Feel like Writing? Our monthly Newsletter is for our members, so please don’t be shy about contributing to it. We welcome member contributed articles that follow the rule of Professional Conduct at Chapter Meetings and we encourage our Chapter Committees to submit their updates as newsletter articles.
Job Seeking? Visit the Placement section of our website. Submit your own or review the current job openings that SFBA Placement Chairman, John Suhr (who has been doing an excellent job of keeping track of security related job openings in our Chapter area for years) has available.
Got Something to Say? Our Speaker’s Bureau is a terrific opportunity to let others know that you are available for speaking engagements as well as being a great place to search for security speakers.
Got Anti-Terrorism? The Call To Duty special section of our website is entirely dedicated to anti-terrorism topics. From safety guidelines to security bulletins as well as Sept 11 photos and links to other antiterrorism websites, this section has become one of the most heavily “contributed to” sections of our website.
Want to Talk to Someone? Our Debriefing Room is a BBS style members-only chat room where you can post messages to your fellow Chapter members as well as read what others had to say.
Do you have My Number? Our members-only Chapter Membership Directory should be updated anytime that you change your contact information or attain an ASIS designation (CPP, PCI, PSP). An emailed confirmation will remind you to also update your records with our national headquarters.
These are just a few of the ways that you can use your SFBA Chapter website to become more involved and to be known as an “active” member. “Member contributions” are the heart and soul of ASIS and now is the time to get involved.
