Launched in 2014, nearly fifty entries were submitted and evaluated by a committee of veteran ASIS members. The three winners, Jean-Charles Gris (Montreal Chapter), Kara M. Monroe (Central New York Chapter) and Angela J. Osborne (Abu Dhabi Chapter) all made the trip to Atlanta for ASIS 2014.

“From networking in the CSO Lounge to inspiring keynotes to attending informative sessions to learning more about career development in the Career Pavilion, I believe I participated in just about every activity offered at the Seminar,” said Angela Osborne, 2014 Seminar Experience winner and Senior Analyst, Internos Solutions. “I cannot thank ASIS, Securitas, and the Young Professionals enough for providing such an amazing opportunity that has already had a great impact on my career!”
