EVANSTON, IL, April 2, 2008 – ISMA, the worldwide organization of Chief Security Officers, and the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, developed and offered a Senior Executive Leadership Program, a new curriculum designed for the world’s most senior business security executives.
Bill Duggan, Chairman of the ISMA Professional Development Committee, said the program is designed to develop senior executives’ leadership skills and to improve their ability to interact with their companies’ senior management and corporate board.
Classes on the Evanston campus began March 30 and continued through Wednesday, April 2. The faculty for the sessions is made up of professors from the Kellogg School of Management. Students are high-level corporate and security service company security executives from throughout the world.
ISMA member Zack Lowe, Vice President and CSO for Waste Management Inc., Margaret Levine, Corporate Security Director for Georgia Power, led efforts with the Kellogg School staff to orchestrate the curriculum and direction for this first of its kind program. “The program is in conjunction with the Kellogg School of Management and provides an important and prestigious opportunity to prepare today’s Chief Security Officers with the ability to meet the future challenges of an ever-changing and complex security landscape throughout the world,” said Lowe.
ISMA’s membership of Chief Security Officers is limited to only the most-senior level executives responsible for the security of the world’s largest corporations and major security service companies. Members represent nearly half of the U.S. Fortune 100 companies and about a quarter of the Global 200.
