Why ISDA, Why Now

WHY ISDA WHY NOW

International Security Driver Association, Inc.

“The most common commodity in this country is

unrealized potential”- Calvin Coolidge

You can spend more time on training that does nothing to increase your potential - OR

You could spend your time learning how to release your potential.

Unless you can release your potential to the correct market place

All it is -is potential

What is ISDA

ISDA is an Association designed to release your potential

The association as it is known today is new, but there has always been an

ISDA. 

ISDA founder, Tony Scotti, has spent over 40 years of

cultivating, networking, working and communicating with the

Executive Protection/Protective Services market.

But he always gave of his time, resources, and advice to those that asked - freely and without

hesitation. 

This is ISDA’s core. 

We formalized this core into ISDA because we see a

significant need for a real – honest to goodness

– association that is there only for its members.

For ISDA - Giving back is not a marketing slogan

WHY CREATE ISDA NOW

Because there is a problem

Before a problem can be fixed - we first have to recognize there is one

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance.

It is the illusion of knowledge” - Daniel J. Boorstin

The biggest problem in the profession is the illusion of knowledge

Unsuspecting individuals are trained in skills that have no

market value.

The social media is filled with complaints ranging from

certification - standards - pay scales - unethical behavior

The market is inundated with training providers - more than 10,000 search results for Bodyguard/EP trainers

Social Media is loaded with those that will get you employment

No one has the silver bullet to employment.

There is none - no training - no conference – no Association

(including ISDA)
