It should also be able to recognize some exceptional act or achievement by Security Professionals who are not necessarily members.” "A large number of our members contribute in some way to the work of the Institute, as do a number of suppliers, so this scheme is designed to acknowledge people who have gone the extra mile and made a really special contribution towards the success of the Institute. We are an organization that exists for our members and we also need to acknowledge the generous support of our sponsors".
