Maslen was presented with the award at Canada Night during ASIS International in San Diego, Calif. He has been a member of ASIS International since 1988, first as a member of the Toronto Chapter, where he spent two years on the executive. He joined the Calgary Chapter in 1994 and immediately took an active role. To date he has served in all four elected positions on the Calgary executive, including two years as Chapter chair.

He has also served for the past 10 years as Chapter Golf committee Chairman which has become a major event for the chapter. This occasion serves as a significant fund raising opportunity with several thousands of dollars being donated each year to worthy causes such as the Canadian Legion Veterans food bank and Calgary Crime Stoppers.

Maslen also spent three years as Region 50 regional vice-president (RVP) and was awarded the Alexander Smart Award as International RVP of the year in 2002. His last appointment was three years as the Group 12 SRVP (including task force work in developing the PCI exam).

Tireless in his promotion of ASIS International at home and abroad, Maslen has been a significant source of encouragement to those embarking on professional certification. He has recently resigned the position of SRVP in order to take up a well-deserved appointment with the Professional Certification Board.
