Had a great time at our final event of 2022 at Top Golf where we enjoyed food, drinks and networking. The outgoing board was recognized, and the incoming board congratulated. Special thanks to Angela Joplin and Bill Carroll for their service!

Every year the Great Kansas City Chapter puts on the  physical security technology showcase. This year we combined the event with our annual chapter awards ceremony. 

We we had over 70 registrants and 19 vendor displays. We're looking forward to next year!

On October 27th, at the Kansas City Metropolitan Crime Commission's annual law enforcement appreciation luncheon, the ASIS Greater Kansas City Chapter had the honor of presenting the Clarence M. Kelley award to Chief Kevin Freeman of the North Kansas City Police Department. Congratulations, Chief Kevin Freeman, and thank you to the Kansas City Metropolitan Crime Commission for inviting us to be part of this amazing event and community each year. 

Many thanks to Theresa Bentch, Director of Security, Environmental and Safety, and Risk Assurance, and Andrei Ivan, Physical Security Manager at Garmin International for hosting and presenting the ASIS Greater Kansas City chapter luncheon for October.

We had a very busy 2021 as we continued our practice of virtual chapter meetings, but finally got to meet in person a few times towards the end. In our December meeting, we had a great time with food, drinks, and making new connections at Boulevard Brewing Co.

We also had the opportunity to give our thanks and appreciation to the 2020 and 2021 Chapter Chair, Rick Dunn. He skillfully and thoughtfully guided the chapter through one of the most challenging times in our organization’s history. He was the principal driver behind updates and changes to our website and communications that lead our chapter to win the multiple ASIS International awards at GSX 2020 including Chapter Website of the Year! We also recognized Mike Betten for his years of service to our chapter and region as the Region 3A Regional Vice President. Thank you to both of you for all you have done and continue to do for the Greater Kansas City Chapter.
