About Us
Your Local Chapter
The ASIS Piedmont Chapter 82 was founded in October 1987 by Mack Donaldson, Gene Loye, and Randy Uzell. This chapter has served the Piedmont area of North Carolina since that time. We strive to be a chapter that provides quality training and networking opportunities for the veteran security profession, those just getting started, and everyone in between. Join us monthly for our virtual and in-person meetings. For further information, reach out through our contact link at the bottom of the page.
We look forward to networking with you!
