International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) CEO Sandi Davies, who received the The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) Lifetime Achievement Award last year at GSX 2023, had the honor of bestowing the award to this year's winner, Dr. Larry Barton, at ASIS International #GSX2024.
