ASIS Austin Chapter Chatter Vol. 1 Issue 3 
A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD
ASIS Austin Chapter,
Since the beginning of this pandemic, our local Board decided that 2020 membership dues were valid throughout 2021, as a benefit to our members. Local Chapter Membership are not mandatory; however, they greatly benefit educational opportunities and chapter events. Our chapter would like to reinitiate a goal of providing future scholarships as well, which was impacted by global events since early 2020 and can only be achieved through chapter dues and sponsors.
As we look forward to return to in-person meetings, networking events, and special programs like our Law Enforcement Appreciation Event in 2022. Even through these unprecedented times, we have seen an increase in local membership. Thank YOU for being the best part of the ASIS Austin Chapter! Moving into 2022, the ASIS Austin Chapter is offering new membership levels for local Chapter Dues. Annual Membership dues will remain at $50 and Web Sponsorships at $100. We are also introducing discounted rates of $25 for Students and Young Professionals. As always, dues are waived for members of our local Law Enforcement Community. Please find details on our Membership page. If you have not yet joined us as a member, now is the BEST time. You can join now as a member to receive discounts on in-person events, prizes at meetings, and all the benefits our members value. If you join as a member today, you can enjoy 15 months of membership for the cost of 12! Your membership will be valid through the end of 2022.
Members can now also renew their memberships at the current annual Member or Web Sponsor rates from the Member Dues Page.
Please let us know if you have questions on membership or signing in. 2022 is sure to be our best year yet and we look forward to having you being a big part of it!
Best,
Ken Roe, Austin 179 Membership Chair

This month's meeting will be hosted at Q2 Stadium in their Beer Hall. Lunch will be served along with refreshments. We will be joined this month by Austin FC's VP of Stadium Operations, Jordan Enke.
