I often hear from security professionals who want to flex into volunteer leadership opportunities but don’t know where to start. What roles align with their experience and skills? How much day-to-day responsibility is required? How do you discover these positions? How heavy is the workload?
After almost 30 years in the security profession and industry, during which I’ve served in many volunteer roles, I present this summary of volunteer leadership roles that answers the foregoing questions. Most of these are unpaid, though some may come with honoraria and/or reimbursement for travel and other expenses. Before engaging in any of these opportunities, especially ones in which you represent an organization, obtain written clarification of duties and responsibilities, determine your exposure to liability and ascertain whether insurance is needed and available.
