The Loss Prevention Foundation Appoints New Board And Academic Committee Members
The Loss Prevention Foundation announces the selection of its newest board members to assist in governing The Foundation. These industry leaders will also provide strategic direction for the organization.
The following individuals have accepted the nomination to serve on The Foundation's Board of Directors:
- David Lund - Vice President Loss Prevention - Dicks Sporting Goods
- Ken Amos - Divisonal Vice President Loss Prevention - Walgreens
- Joe Metro - Director of Retail Business Development - LexisNexis
"The Foundation continues to amass strong retail support for its mission - educating the loss prevention industry by providing challenging and convenient resources such as our LPQualified and LPCertified certification programs," said Frank Johns of A. C. Moore, The Foundation's Chairman. "This group of individuals will add even more valuable expertise about the unique needs of the loss prevention retail community - both from a retail and solution provider perspective."
The Foundation also added Stephen Rosen, EdD of Fairleigh Dickinson University to its Academic Committee.
Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) is one of the Foundation's most recent additions to its growing roster of academic acceptances for the LPQualified (LPQ) and LPCertified (LPC) certification program. The Petrocelli College of Continuing Studies at FDU accepts three credit hours for the LPQ and six credit hours for the LPC towards a Bachelor's degree. New Jersey's largest privately held university, FDU will post these credits in the same manner as transfer credits, which means no fee required.
"The Foundation continues to strive for a broad range of industry perspectives so we can serve the loss prevention industry in an informed and comprehensive manner," said Gene Smith, president of The Foundation. "The addition of our newest board members and academic committee member mirrors those efforts. We are thrilled with the support the academic community is showing toward the LPQ and LPC certification programs. FDU has been a tremendous supporter and the addition of Dr. Rosen to our Academic Committee adds valuable expertise to our efforts."
