Excellence in Security and Distinguished Volunteer Awards Open for Nominations

WASHINGTON, May 12, 2015 - The Restaurant Loss Prevention & Security Association (RLPSA) announces the inauguration of two awards of excellence for industry leaders, innovators and those who go the extra mile to serve others. Nominations are now open for the Salute to Excellence Award and the Distinguished Service Award. Winners will be announced at the 36th Annual RLPSA national conference on August 4. Winners will also be featured on the RLPSA website, in RLPSA social media and in LP Magazine.

The Salute to Excellence Award will recognize an individual or team that exhibits strong leadership, an innovative approach to security, and an effort to go above and beyond daily responsibilities to make a difference in loss prevention and security.

The Distinguished Service Award will honor an individual or team that demonstrates a commitment to the community or the LP industry through compassionate and caring projects that leave a lasting impact on those they serve.

Nominations are now open. Entry forms can be found on the RLPSA website at www.rlpsa.com. Nominations must be submitted no later than Friday, June 19. Winners will be chosen by a selection committee of association members, service providers and media representatives and announced at the 2015 RLPSA Annual Conference in Las Vegas, during the evening dinner on August 4.

The new awards are designed to recognize excellence in restaurant security through contributions to security programs that protect employees, customers, data and assets. Criteria includes thought leadership, development of innovative security strategies, commitment to serving others and adherence to the core values and standards of the RLPSA. “The Excellence in Security and Loss Prevention Award program is a first-time celebration of our exceptional members,” says Jim Forlenza, executive director of RLPSA. The awards will become an annual RLPSA tradition.
