ASIS International Announces the First Roy Bordes
Council Member Award of Excellence
Council Member Award of Excellence
Alexandria, Va. (July 9, 2008) – Ronald Lander, CPP, is the first recipient of the Roy N. Bordes Council Member Award of Excellence. This award recognizes a member of ASIS International who has exhibited “selfless devotion at the volunteer level, emphasizing significant contributions at the council level over an extended period of time.” Lander is vice chairman of ASIS’ Information Technology Security Council. ASIS is the preeminent organization for security professionals worldwide.
Lander became an ASIS member in 1994, after retiring from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, where he was in the data systems bureau. “The mid-90s was when the Internet revolution started and Ron became active as an author and speaker for ASIS and law enforcement organizations,” wrote James Keith Flannigan, chairman of the Information Technology Security Council, in his nomination of Lander. “After realizing how unfamiliar security professionals were with the Internet and computers in general, Ron designed and presented a course on ‘Introduction to the Internet for Security Professionals.’”
Flannigan went on to say that as a member of the IT Security Council, Lander has attended virtually every meeting since he joined the council in the mid-1990s. “If he can’t personally make it to a meeting, he attends via the conference call,” Flannigan wrote. “He is always available to mentor new members. Whenever he gets in front of an audience, he goes out of his way to promote participation in ASIS and joining a council.”
The award is comprised of an all-expenses-paid trip (travel expenses, hotel accommodations and registration fee) to Atlanta for Lander to attend the ASIS International 54th Annual Seminar and Exhibits, to be held Sept. 15-18. Lander will be presented with a plaque at the closing luncheon on Sept. 18.
Lander is owner of Ultrasafe Security Specialists in Norco, Calif. High-profile estate owners, celebrities, grocery and department stores, hospitals, manufacturers, the hotel and restaurant industry, and law firms throughout the country have tapped his consulting, expert witness and integration expertise.
