ISA is honored to announce that the July 2026 executive protection training course will be hosted by Fortis at its headquarters in Greenville, South Carolina.

With midterms fast approaching and political tension rising, both high-net-worth supporters and the candidates they support are facing increased threats.

This is on top of what corporate executives and others are already experiencing.

Fortis is a company that has a proven track record of providing executive protection to its clients and mitigating these threats, so we are extremely thankful for this opportunity to work with them.

So, for law enforcement and the private sector, this training program provides a budget-conscious and fully accredited training opportunity.

It has been our privilege and honor to support women entering the executive protection industry. We are incredibly proud to share that one of our graduates, Christine Marie Bowe of CDM Consulting, recently utilized her skills to ensure the safety of her client at the DC Correspondents' Dinner.

Congratulations to Christine and her husband, John—both graduates of our 2025 Maryland program—on their continued success in the field.

But in August 2026, we have another honor and privilege: we will support Lioness Security Services, a woman-owned security company in Georgia. Owned by Ms. Brenda Melton, her company will host and assist with training.

GA POST approved, we hope law enforcement and the private sector, preparing for the mid-terms and beyond, will take this opportunity to attend.

Supporting women in the industry, supporting law enforcement, and the private sector, it doesn't get any better than this.
