In a world where collaboration fuels innovation, the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety took a bold step by bringing together thought leaders from across healthcare threat assessment management for an inspiring virtual roundtable on Dec. 2, 2024. This roundtable is a key part of ongoing collaboration efforts led by IAHSS.

The roundtable brought together some of the brightest minds to share insights, exchange best practices, and foster a spirit of collective growth. Participants, ranging from government leaders and seasoned executives to emerging innovators, engaged in dynamic discussions about key challenges and opportunities shaping the industry.

Central to the event’s success was its focus on collaboration. Each leader brought a unique perspective, openly sharing their knowledge, challenges, and success stories.

“Participating in the IAHSS Healthcare Threat Assessment Management Virtual Roundtable was an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, and uncover innovative solutions. These conversations not only strengthen our industry but also inspire collaboration that drives meaningful progress. When leaders come together, we can achieve far more than we ever could alone,” said IAHSS President Eric Clay, CHPA, CPP.

Representatives from the following participated:
