Welcome to the Boston Chapter of the International Association of Hospital Security & Safety (IAHSS) website!The chapter officers and members are looking forward to another outstanding year full of educational and networking opportunities. 2009 saw many successful programs, including a 4- part weekend Basic Security Officer Training Course that had attendees from all over the state, our summer social event at the Pawtucket Red Sox game with the New England ASIS chapters, the 14th Annual Memorial Challenge Golf Tournament, the New England Fall Regional Breakfast meeting, a One Day Seminar at Massachusetts General Hospital's Charlestown Navy Yard Campus and joint meetings with the Boston Chapter of ASIS and ISSLA (International Lodging Safety and Security Association).

The Boston chapter is also very proud to have the chapter's own Jim Stankevich serving as international president-elect of IAHSS.

The Boston Chapter of the International Association of Hospital Security & Safety (IAHSS) is a group of security and safety professionals committed to advancing the profession through education and networking. The Chapter’s scholarship program benefits new members within the industry as they strive to further their education. The Chapter is a great resource for networking opportunities via connections with local and other law enforcement agencies and disaster response personnel. These contacts are eager to lend assistance, guidance, and information from their vast experience in today’s challenging security operations field. Education is the stepping-stone to continually improving the industry. The Chapter recognizes this and provides excellent instruction for officers and supervisors and the Certified Healthcare Professional Associate designation through its nationally certified training program.

Craig Forcina, Chairperson
