INTERNATIONAL SECURITY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (ISMA)

ISMA’s Mission is to provide and support an international forum of selected security executives whose combined expertise will be utilized in a synergistic manner in developing, organizing, assimilating, and sharing knowledge within security disciplines for the ultimate purpose of enhancing professional and business standards.

What are membership benefits?
ISMA provides opportunities to network with other senior security executives and to establish a leadership forum to provide personal and professional growth opportunities. Members benefit from semiannual workshops held in major cities around the world. Workshops focus on security, business, and leadership issues to include a members’ forum which generates open discussion on a variety of security, management and other relevant topics. One of the greatest benefits of ISMA membership is the opportunity to develop professional and personal relationships with other leaders in the international security community. These relationships benefit the company as well as the member.
