Several advisory board members of the International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) were named as global influencers in security following the recent release of the International Fire and Security Exhibition and Conference's (IFSEC) annual list.
The advisory boards of IFPO -- whether in the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland or the Latin countries -- are comprised of senior security professionals within the security industry and many of them hold leadership roles with other bodies. The IFPO selects them based on their commitment to the education and career development of frontline security personnel.
Congratulations to those who were named on IFSEC's list and a big thank-you to all who make IFPO what it is today!
