Guidelines
The Canadian Security Industry Pioneer award was established in the late ‘90s to recognize the contributions of ASIS Canadian members who had distinguished themselves through their contribution to the growth and professionalism in the security industry. The security practitioners that initiated the award not only considered the contributions that individuals made to the Canadian Security Industry and to ASIS International in Canada, but also to ASIS International globally.
Ron Minion, CPP, was the first recipient of the award in 1999. Ron was instrumental in bringing ASIS to Canada. He along with others primarily in western Canada worked tirelessly to establish the first Chapter in Edmonton and then in Calgary. Sadly, Ron passed away after a courageous battle with ALS also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. In his honor, the award has been re-named as the “CANADIAN SECURITY INDUSTRY PIONEER – The Ron Minion Award”.
It is anticipated that each Chapter will put forward a nomination for this award. The award will be presented at the Group 6 Annual General Meeting and/or the ASIS International, GSX show.
In addition to the criteria specified on the Nomination Form it is suggested that each submission include the following points. This information will assist the selection committee in making their choice for this year’s recipient. These include:
The nomination, when completed, should include all of the nominee’s accomplishments and clearly demonstrate why the candidate is deserving of the nomination.
All nomination submissions are to be sent to the ASIS Canada Administrator. An Award Selection Committee will be chosen by the ASIS Canada Administrator to review all nomination submissions and select the successful nominee.
The Award Selection Committee will have no less than three members. The members would ideally represent Group 6 geographically and either have an ASIS certification and/or be a past Ron Minion Award winner.
