THE ROAD TO CERTIFICATION BY TONY SCOTTI
Recently there have been inroads made to create a viable ANSI standard. The board of Executive Protection Professionals, or BEPP for short, led by James Cameron, has received their ANSI accreditation and became an approved Standard Developer. The ANSI announcement reads – ANSI’s Executive Standards Council has approved BEPP – Board of Executive Protection Professionals, a new ANSI member in 2021, as an ANSI-Accredited Standards Developer (ASD) under its proposed operating procedures for documenting consensus on BEPP-sponsored American National Standards, effective September 20, 2021. To get more information visit their website, www.ep-board.org, or email info@ep-board.org. If you would like to be considered for the Technical Committee or Working Group member, an application is available on their website. ISDA is confident that there will be many questions concerning the BEPP and the EP certification process. The BEPP has initially covered some questions by creating a five-page Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) Document. We suggest all EP and Security Driver look at the FAQs. The BEPP has also created a YouTube video.
