  • Managing and motivating next-generation women pioneers.

Women leadership

Hundreds of women and men united to promote, recruit, and cultivate women's leadership"

Last June, SIA and ASIS partnered for the inaugural LeadHER conference in Nashville. Hundreds of women and men united to promote, recruit, and cultivate women's leadership in the security industry, making for palpable energy,” said Alice DiSanto, Chair of the SIA Women in Security Forum. 

Alice DiSanto adds, "The speakers and topics provided actionable recommendations that attendees could immediately put into play professionally and personally."

Transforming thinking

Alice DiSanto continues, “Now is the time to become part of the much-anticipated year No. 2 of Security LeadHER in Phoenix. Register now to attend. Throw your name into consideration to speak. Together, I am confident we will curate programming to transform your thinking about women in security.

Progress, connection, and empowerment 

As we again gather at this transformative security conference, we celebrate the spirit of progress, connection, and empowerment that defines the incredible women shaping the future of our industry,” said Mary Gamble, CPP, Chair of the ASIS Women in Security Community.

Mary Gamble adds, “This event is more than a conference; it is a powerful testament to the resilience, ambition, expertise, and collaborative spirit of women in security. Together, we advance, connect, and empower, forging a path towards a more supportive and inclusive future for us all.

Security LeadHER conference

Security LeadHER welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and genders. Anyone who supports their mission of advancing women in the global security industry, then this event is for them! This conference has been designed to be an open, friendly and welcoming environment.

During Security LeadHER, there will be top-quality educational programming on key leadership issues and topics, impactful presentations from industry-renowned experts and numerous opportunities for participants to connect, collaborate and experience lively social events and networking opportunities.
