It was with honour and pride that I attended the 2017 Australian Security Medals Foundation Dinner at the Glasshouse in Melbourne where I was presented with the Australian Security Medal, witnessed by my peers and also my son, who indicated his pride in my accomplishment and his appreciation of the level of security industry professionals at the event.
The Australian Security Medal is awarded to recognise the outstanding career and character of the recipient. ASM recipients will be those who have demonstrated a consistent, high-level contribution to the wider community, possibly via innovative non-core business activities and projects, or via extraordinary performance in their professional role(s).
My thanks go out to Don Williams and Jason Brown, who championed my nomination.
