PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Heather Hearn
Supervisor of E-Commerce Fraud & Physical Security at Wawa Inc.
Welcome to the Restaurant Loss Prevention and Security Association! As the leading association for loss prevention, security, safety and risk management professionals serving the restaurant and food service industry, we are delighted to have you here.
Our association stands out among other trade associations by focusing exclusively on those who serve the restaurant and food service industry. This specialization allows us to tailor our content, discussions and best practices to the unique challenges presented in our industry.
We take immense pride in our relationships with and the inclusion of solution providers serving our industry. These partners not only receive membership in our association but also hold seats on our Board of Directors, playing a crucial role in the growth and success of our association. This collaboration, initiated by our founders, has flourished throughout the rich history of our association for over forty years.
Throughout the year our members have numerous opportunities to collaborate, learn and share with their peers. We offer regional Connects, quarterly Chapter meetings, webinars, membership discussion calls, working groups and various networking opportunities to address the issues facing our profession and industry. Our association management team at Celtic provides exceptional support and service to our membership. They are a team of experts who partner with RLPSA, providing association and conference management, accounting support, social media, and digital services.
Join us March 22-24, 2026 for our 46th annual conference in Dallas, TX. Our annual conference continues to grow each year and presents our members and solution providers with exceptional content, including professional development, information sharing, the latest innovations and offerings from our solution partners and invaluable networking opportunities.
On behalf of our membership, I extend my gratitude for visiting our website. Please take advantage of the information and resources available across our site. If you serve the restaurant and food service industry and are not already a member, consider joining today!
