“Being a member of ABCHS truly strengthens an individual’s creativity and insights into situations which promote new ideas and innovations towards measurable outcomes within homeland security today. ” —JH Bridges III, Chair, ABCHS, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.), FACFEI, DABCHS, CHS-V
“By obtaining the designation of Certified in Homeland Security, I have been afforded several wonderful career opportunities. Most recently, I was appointed by the Georgia Division of Public Health to manage a special project called "Communicating Before a Crisis." My CHS-V designation is no doubt a major contributor to my career opportunities. The CHS program is the only certificate program that has given me quick results for career opportunities.” —Billy Ray Jackson, CHS-V, ATS, CSC, ABCHS United States Security Institute Foundation, President
"The American Board for Certification in Homeland Security" (ABCHS) is the only nationally recognized "Certification Entity" exclusively dedicated to the professional development of its membership via training, certification, and continuing education in the myriad of individual disciplines that fall under the umbrella of "Homeland Security." In a very uncertain world and during a most critical period in our national history, I know of no other organization that offers the professional Emergency Manager and Security Specialist, with the tools necessary to provide their individual organization (whether it be Private Sector, State, Local or the Federal Government), with highest quality knowledge base in the area of Homeland Security. Being recognized as a "Credentialed Professional" in the subject matter area of "Homeland Security" is not only a "Force Multiplier" for ones employer, but dramatically expands an individual’s career horizons by providing more professional opportunities throughout their career and adult-work-life. Additionally, and more importantly, by becoming "Certified in Homeland Security," an individual makes a conscious commitment to the security and defense of The United States of America, its people, and our way of life, … a truly most noble and selfless cause.” —Colonel Andrew J. Jurchenko, Sr. , CHS-V, DABCHS, ABIT, BLSI, CFI, DTI, MMA-HRD, OCI/LLFIT, RCI, SRIT United States Army (Retired)
