ASIS International has announced the 2023 class of recipients for its annual awards of excellence for organizations and individuals.

The organization says that the annual ASIS Awards of Excellence honor the important work and accomplishments of ASIS members worldwide.

They are honored not only for their accomplishments but also for setting standards for the industry to model across the globe.

“ASIS award recipients model best-in-class behaviors, initiatives and programming throughout the course of the year,” said Tim McCreight, 2023 President, ASIS International.

“Throughout my tenure as President, I’ve spoken a lot about the mindset of service before self and ASIS award recipients embody that mindset at the individual and organizational level each day.”
