The SIA Women in Security Forum (WISF) is recruiting 10 volunteers to expand the WISF Ambassador Program. Strategically positioned across the United States, WISF Ambassadors will play a key role in expanding relationships and actively engaging with WISF members.
WISF Ambassadors will:
- Lead connecting with current and potential members through virtual and in-person personal outreach in their regions
- Develop strategies and programs to increase member engagement in their regions, which could include ad-hoc get-togethers, meetups and events
- Provide insights to the WISF Steering Committee on feedback from the community about additional outreach and support
- Promote and support WISF programs through social media and in-person networking in their regions
- Work with SIA staff to leverage connections and collective action to achieve the goals of the SIA Women in Security Forum
Creativity, passion and follow-through networking, which is interpersonal, are the top attributes of a WISF ambassador. The playbook for this localized outreach is open to what the ambassadors believe is the best approach to grow and network with women in the sphere of the security industry.

SIA asks that WISF Ambassadors:
- Participate in up to two quarterly calls with the membership committee
- Attend major networking events at ISC West, ISC East and GSX, setting aside some time to meet with members and potential members, which will include time dedicated to the SIA/WISF booth.
- Coordinate local regional get-togethers and meetups with other SIA WISF members
If you are interested in getting more involved, love bringing people together and want to help advance the mission of the SIA Women in Security Forum, send your name, company, email and phone number to Dr. Elli Reges, SIA’s director of learning and development, at ereges@securityindustry.org.
