About - International Association of Maritime Security Professionals

Admin

Our mission is to raise professionalism within the maritime security domain. We accomplish this through four core activities:

  • Membership: we encourage members to become engaged in activities and work with an eye towards professionalism and excellence in their conduct.
  • Education: we help establish academically and critically recognized programs at post-secondary institutions that build their understanding of the maritime security domain.
  • Training: we design, develop, and deliver training that brings together knowledge across broader communities within the association or the industry.
  • Resources: we craft and release documents that are intended to inform persons of events within the maritime security space and participate in broader initiatives where they are likely to help improve the maritime security space.
Our focus can be described as learning, collaboration, examining, and communicating. We help build capacity where it is found to be lacking, but we work collaboratively with other organizations where such efforts help raise the overall level of professionalism. We learn continuously, examining both our current work and work in development to ensure that it remains relevant and reasonable to those practicing in the domain. Finally, we communicate this work through our membership then into the broader domain. If you are looking to see how membership in the Association can benefit you, please visit our Membership page.
