These presentations, however, are vital to chief security officers (CSOs) who need to understand the business culture and how to position them- selves within an organization to effectively present their business case. These goals were the impetus behind the Wharton/ ASIS International Program for Security Executives, which saw its first group of 24 security professionals receive certificates from the Society and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business on March 4 at the Steinberg Conference Center in Philadelphia. The two-week course is a mini-MBA program for midand senior-level security executives. It is modeled on an Security is a vital part of both government and business strategic thinking. The Steinberg Conference Center in Philadelphia Photo by Peter Olson/Wharton Communications eight-year-old Wharton program called “Essentials of Management,” which introduces participants to a business organization from the enterprise level. The intent of the Wharton/ASIS course is to provide security professionals an introduction to the fundamentals of business so that they can communicate a clear business case, exercise leadership more effectively, and develop relationships across organizations.

Such preparation was on the minds of more than 70 attendees of the ASIS International Crisis Management Council’s annual two-and-ahalf-day workshop titled “Crisis Management: The Incident Response Plan.” The workshop, held in Chicago, brought together individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and industries to share ideas and work through a six-step process for planning for and managing critical incidents. During the workshop, participants created, played out, and critiqued an actual crisis management plan. Council members supplemented these work periods with presentations on a wide variety of topics including: gaining the support of upper management, conducting risk assessments, developing plan fundamentals, tactical response, and conducting exercises. Because the workshop was designed to put theory into practice, Fresh Words A SIS International has added four new titles to its catalog.

Ford facet of the profession. Next is America the Vulnerable: How Our Government Is Failing to Protect Us from Terrorism by Stephen Flynn and published by Harper Collins. According to Flynn, the measures in place to protect the United States’ vital systems are still woefully inadequate. The author offers a startling portrait of the shortcomings in the United States’ current homeland security plan and paints a frightening picture of the havoc another major terrorist attack could wreak, including loss of life, economic chaos, and seismic political consequences. Still worse, he argues, small improvements have been oversold as giant steps forward, lowering the guard of the average citizen. Flynn carefully outlines a plan for achieving effective and manageable vital systems security. The third new title is Sleuthing 101: Background Checks and the Law by Barry J.

An ASIS member since 1986, Florence was elected to the Board of Directors in 2002 after serving as president of the ASIS Professional Certification Board (PCB). She was the recipient of the 2001 President’s Award of Merit and the Region III Minot P. Dodson, CPP, Perpetual Award by the Society. W PHOTOS BY MEHOSH DZIADZIO HEN WE SPOKE WITH LINDA F. FLORENCE, CPP, in mid April, she had just joined Sprint Corporation of Overland Park, Kansas, as its physical security manager. Florence waxed enthusiastic about working with fellow ASIS International Board of Directors Member John C. Cholewa III, CPP, director of physical security at Sprint. “I have always considered him a mentor. We have never worked together, but I’ve known him through ASIS for a long time. He was always the first person who came to mind when I was in a bind professionally and needed advice. John would always be the best person to call,” she says. 10 Q: Having mentioned John Cholewa as one of your mentors— has the circle turned so that now you’re a mentor to others? A: Yes—there’s two particular people who come to mind— two instances where I saw in somebody who didn’t have any experience in the industry something that could be beneficial both to it and to them. One was a woman who came from the IT side; I encouraged her to learn the physical security side and later she and I literally built a program together. Also, there was another woman who first worked for me as an administrative assistant. I gave her an opportunity to be an investigator and she embraced it. The biggest joy that I get out of being a mentor is when someone calls who worked for me in the past and says, “Thanks for what you did five years ago,” or I get a Christmas card out of the blue saying, “You have no idea how much you’ve influenced me.” And it’s not so much a conscious effort on my part, more of an ‘I’ve done the right thing at the right time’ thing ASIS DY NAMICS Dyn - Jul - Aug 2005 C-f for pdf.qxd 6/15/2005 11:24 AM Page 11 my husband through ASIS.

My personal educational goals have been, in large part, influenced by my friendships and contacts at ASIS. for them…And it could have been that I had to set them straight—that I had to discipline them in some way—but it turned out to be the right thing. Q: What was the most interesting experience of your security career? A: The most unique opportunity I ever had was working at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta for First Union to set up a business continuity command post. We planned for more than a year and threw an incredible amount of resources at it. It was fascinating to see how the Olympic Committee comes into a city and takes over. Everything had to be planned—street closures, badging, medical response, mail delivery, and airport closures. It’s a huge coordination effort. And then, even with the best-laid plans, we had an incident—the bombing at AT&T plaza. worked on was the chapter newsletter, and then I was on the hospitality committee, and it was all over after that—the next thing you know I was secretary of the chapter. Then I got involved in the ASIS Annual Seminar and with teaching at Northern Virginia Community College. And then I got into the regional stuff, and I was on the Banking and Financial Services Committee. From there I went to the Professional Certification Board, and then the ASIS Board of Directors. Literally, one thing led to the next. Q: Has ASIS membership helped your career? A: It has certainly given me unique opportunities. I’ve met people who I never would have—I even met Q: What are you proudest of? A: There’s not one particular thing, it’s the culmination of the successes that I’ve had in my education and professional career. One person who pushed me to those successes and whom I need to thank is Tim Schneider, Ph.D. He’s definitely been my supporter, both academically and personally. I’ve accomplished more than I ever thought I would have when I look back 20 years to when I graduated from college. I’m much further ahead in my life in general, and I have accomplished more professionally, academically, and even in my personal life that I ever thought I would, and I’ve been able to give back to my family and friends and the people who have helped me along the way. ◆ Q: Why did you become an ASIS volunteer leader?
