Every year May brings change and new life as the season blossoms, commencement takes place, and we weather our way forward into the days of summer. Although a month of remembrance in many ways, we should also take the time to consider that clearer skies and sunnier days are on the way, as demonstrated by approximately 80 loss prevention professionals taking the next step in their professional careers.
All of us throughout the loss prevention community are proud of the accomplishments of those that have worked hard and earned a new place along the loss prevention career path. Whatever our professional goals and aspirations might be and whatever skills and experiences have helped forge our loss prevention careers, we have to find and seize the opportunities to learn, grow, and progress.
Please join us in congratulating the following individuals on their recent career moves and promotions.
