LAST month the Institute of Security Executives, one of Australia’s oldest and largest industry associations, changed its name and sharpened its focus as it pushed toward further cementing its national footprint.

According general manager, Brad Waugh, ISE will now be known as the Security Providers Association of Australia, or SPAAL, a move that better reflects the association’s fast growing membership.

“SPAAL has a 40-year history of supporting the security industry in Australia and the association is fully committed to maintaining its focus on member services,” said Waugh. “We now have a new constitution and are looking to grow.

“As part of this focus we provide a national representation for our 900 members, we have a strong focus on education and growing our members’ businesses and we are committed to competitive membership rates,” he said.

“We will be working with members in a number of ways to support their businesses, including through education and adding value to our regular meetings through networking opportunities and a strong focus on business issues.”

Waugh said SPAAL offered a unique service to member organisations.

“We are fully accredited nationally, we have history that dates back to the 1960’s – we are no newcomer. Combined with the strength of these core qualities we have a focus on our members that no other association can match.”
