Don Randall wins the 2008 ASIS International European Person of the Year Award

ASIS International is pleased to announce that Mr. Don W. Randall, Senior Vice President and International Security Manager, EMEA, of JP Morgan Chase will be presented with the ASIS European Person of the Year 2008 Award.

Don, who has hosted several Chapter 208 seminars, was nominated for the award in connection with his development and harmonisation of a major public-private initiative - Project Griffin – aimed at supporting both business and citizen communities whilst providing additional resources to the public police forces. In addition to now being a UK wide resource, the Project Griffin has been taken up in the USA (Project Shield), Australia, South Africa and Hong Kong. Don Randall commented: “This is really a splendid piece of news and a complete surprise. It will be my honour to accept”.

The ASIS International European Person of the Year Award is presented each year to recognise outstanding accomplishments advancing the security profession in Europe. The nominee should be highly regarded in Europe and known to be a strong contributor to the improvement of the standing and image of the security profession. Last year’s winner was Mr. Wim Philippa, Secretary General of the European Roundtable of Industrialists.

The award will be presented to Mr. Randall at ASIS International’s 7th European Security Conference which will take place in Barcelona on 13-16 April 2008.
