Emma Shaw is stepping down as chairman of the Security Institute. She told members last month that her successor will be chosen by the board of directors in the next few weeks, and will be announced at the AGM on March 24, which she will chair.
She told members in an email: “I hope to see many of you at this formal review of the Institute’s development and service delivery, and to thank you personally for your support. I will continue in post until the first meeting of the new board in April.” After serving in the Military Police, she founded Esoteric, a counter-espionage company. She has an MBA and is a Chartered Security Professional; she was elected chair in April 2013, having been vice-chairman.
For an interview with her, from the Security TWENTY 15 conference at Nottingham that she spoke at with IPSA chairman Mike White, see the March print issue of Professional Security. At the event she and Mike White went over the ‘manifesto’ for the industry launched in November and featured in the January print issue of Professional Security; the institute and IPSA memorandum of understanding, featured in the February print issue; and the first meeting of some 18 industry bodies to make the manifesto reality, in London on February 4.
