The Loss Prevention Foundation

Why the Foundation is Unique

What makes the Loss Prevention Foundation unique is that our Board of Directors is composed of individuals from the loss prevention industry. Our focus is on Loss Prevention in retail, hence why our Board largely holds senior level positions at retail companies, or for companies that serve the retail sector. Unlike the bigger trade associations in retail that you may

be more familiar with, whose boards are composed of CEOs from retail, the Loss Prevention Foundation was created to serve the education needs of the loss prevention sector exclusively. Many of the national trade associations, especially the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), HospitalityLawyer.com, National Food Service Security Council (NFSSC), and the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), do serve the interests of the loss prevention industry through conferences they put on and by lobbying in the legislatures. All of these organizations are supporters of the Loss Prevention Foundation. They lend us resources and marketing support, for which we are extremely grateful. With that said, we do not take direction from any of these organizations; we only take direction from our Board of Directors. The board reviews all strategic initiatives, budgets and business plans.
