Your Calendars!
As the private security industry constantly changes, it is critical
that ASSIST and its members and non-members work collectively to
meet those changes now and into the future. This year�s annual
conference entitled �Security on the Borders� is a unique
opportunity that brings together professional experts and private
security companies to discuss issues facing the security officers,
and security profession.
The conference also provides Friday access to a wide range of
vendors who supply services and products that can help make your
company run more efficiently. The vender�s services and supplies
are the venue for today�s security profession.
This year�s conference will cover General Continuing Expertise
designed to protect the security profession and security officers
and to bring you up to date Texas Private Security Bureau and Board
Rules of Texas.
For the golfer�s Thursday we have lined up one of the most
exciting golf courses in El Paso. You will have the honor of golfing
at Fort Bliss, Texas, at the famous Underwood Sunset course.
Thursday evening we have some of the best live entertainment �Old
El Paso�s Wild West Show� (Six Guns and Shady Lanes).
Friday Continuing Education and our Famous Legislative Luncheon this
year with DPS Colonel Thomas Davis and Homeland Security Director
Steve McGraw and senators and state representatives and Friday
evening President�s Gala and Saturday we end with Continuing
Education and Saturday afternoon a trip to the Sunland Park
Racetrack and Casino.
For the first time ever we
are having a �Early Bird Registration� From Jan. 1 thru
June 30, 2007 members who register during the time period will be
eligible for one drawing of $500 cash. The lucky ticket will be

the convention includes all events and hospitality rooms.�
We also, for the first time
ever, are inviting the organization members from the alarm,

President�s Gala. See the registration from and schedule of events

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday our Hospitality room will
be open with food drinks and here you will have the opportunity to
meet our speakers, venders and be able to talk with members and
non-members to exchange ideas and suggestions (where the real
business is done).
As always, ASSIST�s goal
is to raise the standards and professionalism in our industry.
Specific objectives include enforcing regulatory compliance by all
security companies in the state and halting operations of illegal
security companies and individuals.
We must continue to raise our level of professionalism through
aggressive educational programs, by developing and implementing new
security methodologies and techniques designed to advance services
and provide improved protection for security officers.
Mark your calendars! We look forward to having a fantastic
conference and to seeing you at the ASSIST Convention 2007 held at
the Camino Real Hotel, El Paso, Texas, Oct, 4-6, 2007.
By getting involved and working together with all organizations
licensed under the Texas Private Security Bureau and Board, we can
continue to raise the standards and enhance the image of private
security professionals. We must maintain and strengthen our
strategic partnerships with government officials, the Texas Private
Security Bureau Board, law enforcement agencies, and the
professional educators of this state. This can be done by coming to
our Convention 2007.
Sincerely,
Dave Scepanski
