Voices from the CorpSecurity Volunteer Leadership Network
Insights and experiences from volunteer leaders helping shape the global CorpSecurity professional community.
As Chapter Chairman in Singapore, I have connected with 200+ corporate security professionals across Southeast Asia in 18 months. The visibility and credibility this role provides has directly contributed to two senior director appointments in my own career. The CorpSecurity leadership network genuinely opens doors.

Senior Director of Corporate Security at [Company]
Joining as Chapter Secretary while pursuing my CSM® certification gave me immediate professional visibility before my certification was even complete. By the time I earned the CSM®, I had already established myself as a known voice in the Mumbai corporate security community.

I am not yet a CorpSecurity certified professional, but my 22 years in corporate security and risk management qualified me as Chapter Chairman in London. The role has elevated my industry positioning significantly while contributing to a mission I genuinely believe in.

Frequently Asked Questions — Volunteer Leadership Program
Q1
Do I need to be CorpSecurity certified to become a Volunteer Leader?
No. While CorpSecurity certified professionals (CSA®, CSS®, CSI®, CSM®, CSD®) are welcome and frequently lead chapters, certification is not required. Industry leaders with 5+ years of professional experience in corporate security, physical security, facilities, or risk management are eligible regardless of prior CorpSecurity certification status.
Q2
What is the time commitment for a Volunteer Leader role?
2-3 hours per week for chapter leadership activities. This includes chapter communication, monthly knowledge-sharing sessions or candidate guidance, member engagement, and event coordination. The schedule is flexible — Volunteer Leaders manage their own engagement around professional commitments.
Q3
Is there compensation for Volunteer Leaders?
The CorpSecurity Volunteer Leader role is unpaid. The program provides significant non-monetary recognition: official leadership title, Global Leaders Directory listing, exclusive forum access, professional network expansion, and platform for industry thought leadership. Many Volunteer Leaders report meaningful career advancement attributable to the role.
Q4
How long does the application process take?
Typically 1-2 weeks from application submission to chapter assignment. Initial review takes 3-5 business days, followed by a 30-minute leadership conversation, then chapter assignment within 5-7 days for approved candidates.
Q5
Can I apply for a city not listed in current openings?
Yes. CorpSecurity expands chapter coverage based on demonstrated leadership interest. Apply for your target city even if not currently listed — strong applications often catalyze new chapter formation in previously unrepresented cities.
Q6
What is the difference between Chapter Chairman and Chapter Secretary?
Chapter Chairman is the primary leadership role driving local chapter strategy, certification adoption, and industry partnerships, with one monthly knowledge-sharing session. Chapter Secretary manages operational coordination, member communications, and conducts two candidate guidance sessions monthly. Both roles receive equivalent recognition and benefits. Secretaries often progress to Chairman roles.
Q7
How does Volunteer Leadership help my career?
Volunteer Leaders consistently report career advancement attributable to the role: senior security director appointments, expanded professional networks, thought leadership recognition, employer recruitment outreach, and direct relationships with C-level corporate security professionals. The Global Leaders Directory is reviewed by corporate recruiters globally.
Q8
What if I am currently in the CSA® certification process?
Enrollees and prospects are encouraged to apply. Leadership engagement during certification accelerates professional visibility and often enhances post-certification career outcomes. Some enrollees also become eligible for fast-track certification consideration through demonstrated leadership commitment.
