TESTIMONIALS

The GCSMA has been a huge benefit for me as it has allowed me the opportunity to network with my peers in the industry. This networking has been instrumental in bringing ideas and comparisons to Committees and the Board of Directors. The ideas help in delivering a better service, and the comparisons of other communities allow the BOD to see just exactly what they are receiving for their money. The group has also been a wealth of knowledge when faced with problem solving, as someone has already “been there done that”. Thanks Director Sutphin for your vision and leadership!

I have benefited professionally from the interaction with my peers. It helps to understand how many issues are common and the different ways they are handled. I do not feel like the problems experienced are unique to my property. It is helpful to be able to draw on a knowledge base from those that have experienced the same type of problems. My property has benefited from the recommendations and varied solutions I am able to provide to the board of directors. They don’t use them but at least the various options are presented.I use the anonymous benchmarking data to validate expenditures, procedures and personnel when dealing with my board.

This organization is an excellent way for security managers to share ideas. Being a relative new comer to the group I have found the questions and discussions extremely valuable for myself as well as the Privacy staff and so beneficial for the communities we serve.
