NASHVILLE, (July 10, 2023) – To meet the demands of the growth experienced by the Restaurant Loss Prevention & Security Association (RLPSA), the organization has added the new role of Associate Director. The RLPSA organization is proud to announce the hiring of industry veteran, Rebecca Alexander.
“I’m pleased to add Rebecca Alexander as my new Associate Director,” said Amber Bradley, Executive Director of RLPSA. “Rebecca’s deep knowledge of the restaurant/QSR industry and the challenges faced by companies and franchisees from a loss prevention and occupational safety perspective makes her the perfect fit for this role. Her background in restaurant operations, loss prevention, occupational safety and risk give her a holistic view of loss avoidance and its impact on the bottom line.”
“I am excited to have Rebecca in this role as RLPSA members will benefit from her experience and expertise,” said Kurt Leisure, President of the RLPSA. “Occupational safety is sometimes overlooked in industry associations.
