ASIS International, International Protective Security Board Sign Memorandum of Understanding
ASIS International (ASIS) and the International Protective Security Board (IPSB) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote collaboration and information-sharing between the two organizations. This partnership aims to foster the growth of the security industry and the executive protection community.
The MOU outlines the purpose of the agreement, which is to facilitate mutual cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and resources between ASIS and IPSB. As the premier global association for security management professionals, ASIS provides access to intelligence, standards, and educational opportunities through its certification programs, publications, and events. IPSB, a nonprofit organization, serves as a collaborative space for the global protection community, representing sectors such as executive/corporate, high-threat, faith-based, high-net-worth, celebrity/entertainment, and government/dignitary security.
"This MOU marks an important milestone in our efforts to unite the security industry and strengthen the executive protection community," said William Tenney, CEO, ASIS International. "By working closely with IPSB, we can leverage our collective expertise and resources to better serve our members and the broader security landscape."
Under the terms of the MOU, ASIS and IPSB will explore opportunities for joint educational programming, information-sharing, and mutual promotion of each other's initiatives. The agreement is effective immediately and will remain in place until either party provides written notice of termination.
Chuck Tobin, President, IPSB Board of Directors, added, "We are excited to formalize our partnership with ASIS, a respected leader in the security field. This collaboration will enable us to enhance the professional development of executive protection practitioners and drive innovation within the industry."
