A forum for promoting continuing communication between security
academicians and security practitioners, participants in the
ASIS Academic Practitioner Symposium gather annually
for an intensive, multi-day program of plenary sessions, guest
speakers, and dynamic breakout sessions. Participants at this
invitation-only event discuss and debate industry issues and
trends, and take actions that result in the development of educational
programs at the baccalaureate and graduate levels. Each Symposium
builds off the previous year’s work. Recent deliverables include
course outlines, curriculum models, core competencies, and potential
accreditation criteria. The 2009 Symposium takes place July 29-31
at the University of Maryland. David H. Gilmore, CPP, chairs
the Symposium. The vice chairman is Dr. Carl T. Richards. For

Securing Bolivia's cultural patrimony
The ASIS Foundation provides training and assistance to foreign
governments and private companies to increase the level of security
at archeological sites. The Foundation sponsors Dr. Arthur and
Lauri Kingsbury’s efforts to restore and secure historical and
patrimonial sites in Bolivia. Dr. Kingsbury, CPP, (ASIS member
since the 1960's) developed methods for securing Bolivia's cultural
patrimony, which were adopted as policy and implemented throughout
the country. In October 2003, he received Bolivia's Medal of
Merit (Civilian), one of the first two foreign citizens to receive
the distinction. In 2004, the U.S. Department of State sent him
to Baghdad to develop the security plan for the Iraqi Museum.
