ASIS Chapter 29 members

 

As most of you are aware, Chapter 29 has not collected any chapter dues since 2004, or before hurricane Katrina. The chapter has been surviving on only the money collected at the luncheons, which is most of the time a break even at best. In order to one day return to sponsoring functions previously held by this chapter, it will be necessary to re-instate yearly chapter dues. Chapter dues are voluntary and will not affect your standings within the ASIS organization. Dues for other chapters range from $50 to $100 per year, with most chapters our size in the $50 range. The last time we collected dues, it was $30. In these tough economic times, I do not want to put any more financial burden on anyone. I am proposing that we resume collecting $30 membership dues per person, per calendar year for the time being. We can then increase dues at a later date if necessary.

 

You can bring your dues to the meeting this Thursday, April 30th. Receipts will be available.

If you cannot make the meeting, payment information will be posted at a later date

 

Thank You,

 

Kent Lirette  PSP

February 5, 2009 Meeting

Our  first meeting of 2009 was held on February 5. Our newly elected board members were introduced along with our guest Speaker, Mr. James (Jamie) Nolan, Port Security Specialist with the US Coast Guard. Jamie gave an enlightening presentation on TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential). After his presentation, he answered numerous questions and was posed with several issues about the effects of TWIC on our industry that he will submitt to USCG higher command.

Also at the meeting, Chairman Kent Lirette presented a plaque to Regional VP John Tobler in thanks for his service as Chapter Chairman from 2005 through 2008. We would like to thank John for keeping the chapter together during this time of re-building after Katrina.

Greetings from your 2009 Chapter Chairman


ASIS kent pics 005

Dear Chapter 29 members,

It is with great pleasure that I assume the role of Chapter Chairman of ASIS Greater New Orleans Chapter 29. My name is Kent Lirette and I have been a member of ASIS since 2003. I have earned a PSP and am presently working on my CPP Certification. I am still relatively a newcomer to the organization, and through most of my experience here, the chapter has been in a rebuilding mode from Hurricane Katrina. Although it has been a long road back, I feel the chapter is well on it's way to recovery. Meeting attendance has increased to pre-Katrina levels. In the future, we need to focus on re-instituting some of the programs that have been lost since the storm. We have a new group of officers being assisted by some of our veteran members to insure a smooth transition. I am looking forward to working with you this next year to continue bringing this chapter back to the level of excellence that is emulated by the name ASIS.

Please join me for our first meeting of the year on:

Date:                                          Thursday, February 5th, 2009
Time:                                         11:30 AM Registration/Networking
                                                   12:00 Noon Lunch/Seminar -
Meeting Location:                  Don's Seafood Hut
                                                   4801 Veterans Blvd Metairie, LA 70006




Respectfully Yours,

Kent Lirette, PSP
