THE CONNECTIONS YOU NEED<br />
THE CONNECTIONS YOU NEED<br />
RSPA President's Note<br />
Spring is in the air—that means daffodils,<br />
warmer weather, and… security.<br />
Wait—security?<br />
Really, isn’t that a concern for all of us yearround?<br />
Yes—I would say it is, but given the<br />
higher level of interest and engagement in<br />
recent months—I’d venture to say security<br />
may be THE hottest topic in the industry this<br />
season.<br />
Recently, I spent several days at the NCC<br />
dealer meeting. PCI, EMV, and Liability were<br />
the focus of many of the conversations<br />
that took place there. In the midst of so<br />
much information (and, frankly, confusion),<br />
I was again reminded of the important role<br />
RSPA plays in helping our members. We<br />
are committed to continuing to be your goto<br />
resource. We are frequently updating<br />
our website, www.GoRSPA.org, with new<br />
content and news, as it becomes available to<br />
us. We are providing access to certifications<br />
and education to help you increase your<br />
knowledge (www.GoRSPA.org/Education).<br />
At RetailNOW®, in Dallas, July 31 - August<br />
3, we will be providing live sessions on a<br />
variety of topics, including security; oh yes,<br />
and Josh Klein, former hacker and current<br />
technologist will be our closing speaker,<br />
sharing his thoughts on concerns that are<br />
near and dear to us.<br />
Yes—security is the current hot topic, which<br />
will continue to be top of mind for most of us<br />
in the foreseeable future. Much like, I hope,<br />
RSPA is for you—there at the forefront, when<br />
it’s most important, but also a consistent<br />
partner you can count on year round.<br />
Happy Spring!<br />
