Welcome to Our Chapter

Thank you for visiting our website! I am honored to lead the ASIS Boston Chapter this year and look forward to working with the membership and chapter volunteer leaders in what will be an exciting and successful year.

The Boston chapter began in 1958 with the efforts of a few dedicated security professionals who recognized a need for an organization that brought individuals together to share information and to promote the security profession.   These individuals established the framework for an incredible chapter to grow and prosper to what it is today - a vibrant successful organization committed to providing education, networking and leadership opportunities for its almost 900 members!

Our website is updated regularly. It offers you information about the Boston chapter leadership as well as its meetings, publications and special events. It also provides you links to other valuable security resources, including the ASIS International website and the various certifications offered.

Here are some highlights of our annual Chapter activities:

• The Boston Chapter hosts meetings every month, with the exception of July, August and December. Each meeting offers an opportunity to network with other professionals, to hear speakers on various professional development topics and to enjoy a meal together.
• The Spring Manning Golf Tournament is a much anticipated, fun event that is always well attended. Duffers and pros alike are welcome as teams engage in friendly competition for bragging rights!
• Our annual Security Expo in April is renowned for its broad range of exhibits and training programs. It is an event not to be missed!
• The Chapter hosts an annual awards dinner where last year we distributed $15,000 in scholarships and charitable donations.

This is a great chapter whose success is due to your involvement and participation. If you are just visiting this website and are not yet a member of ASIS, we invite you to join this great organization. If you are not quite ready to join, then you are also welcome to contact me and come as my guest to a meeting to “test drive” the organization!

I look forward to seeing you soon! If you would like to get a hold of me please feel free to call me at 617-871-3074 or email dick.parry@novartis.com. I wish you all the best in your professional career, good health and much happiness!
