Dear Selection Committee:

Supplying a broad-based background and diverse
success spearheading operations and security in
a military environment will enable me to
fulfill an Executive-level Security Management
position in both corporate and government
arenas. Providing your organization with
expertise in Physical Security, Electronic
Security Systems, Asset Protection, and Risk
Management will undoubtedly facilitate your
visions of organizational growth and stability.

A seasoned management career with the military
has enabled me to refine extremely valuable
communications, documentation, training,
expense administration, project management, and
resource allocation expertise. Notable roles I
have held include Operations & Security Officer
(involving several high-visible and sensitive
roles) and Security Specialist with The
Adjutant General's Department of the Ohio Army
National Guard and Plans, Operations, and
Training Specialist with the 107th Armored
Cavalry Regiment Headquarters. Please consider
the following selected career highlights:

* Honored with "award of excellence" from
National Guard Bureau Office of Electronic
Security Systems Management for prudent
utilization of technology and stewardship of
total asset protection program to protect
Ohio Army National Guard's tangible and
intangible assets and for active involvement
with safeguarding intellectual property,
competitive intelligence, physical assets,
personnel, and other agency business
activities or functions. Only 15 state
security programs were recognized out of 50
states and 4 territories. Security Program
Manager, the OHARNG Security Program

* Developed cost effective and efficient
budget and funding procedures for $900
million of assets and 10,647 soldiers,
state, and federal employees in support of
near- and long-range planning for security

upgrades), security system maintenance (129
weapons vaults, 2 ammunition and explosives
supply points, closed circuit TV at high-
risk facilities), for 78 facilities, 3
training sites, 2 rotary wing flight
facilities, and 1 fixed wing flight
facility. Security Program Manager

* Helped analyze, recommend, and develop
national policy on security and anti-
terrorism/force protection for
implementation by National Guard Bureau to
50 states and territories by chairing
National Guard Bureau Physical Security and
Anti-terrorism/Force Protection Advisory
Council. Also assisted in development of
criteria, standards, and functional
requirements to determine best technology
available to meet numerous security
applications faced among 50 states and
territories by serving on National Guard
Bureau Electronic Security Systems Advisory
Council as physical security expert. Command
Security Specialist

Extensive specialized civilian and military
training, certifications, education and
affiliations along with in-depth knowledge of
security procedures, enforcement,
communication, negotiation, and motivation
techniques foreshadow my ability to lead
effectively and enhance organizational
progress. All of these combined traits will
surely step to the forefront when collaborating
with other divisions and agencies to answer the
threats you may see in the future.

As there is considerably more to relate in
regard to how my talents and comprehensive
expertise and abilities will ensure advantages
to your organization, I would enjoy the
opportunity to meet with you personally as the
first step of a mutually beneficial alliance.

Sincerely,

James Vanas
