The Content Review Committee
This committee is responsible for the final approval
on all content for both the LPQualified and LPCertified
certification programs.
LPQualified Coursework Committees
Each of these committees works on their specific coursework
section. Members of these committees have had at least
several years of experience in retail, with most having
spent a majority of that time in loss prevention.
- Retail Environment coursework committee
- Becoming a Successful Business Person coursework committee
- Loss Prevention Basics and Tools coursework committee
LPCertified Coursework Committees
Each of these committees works on their specific coursework
section. Unlike in the LPQualified committees, members
of these committees, especially Supply Chain and Crisis
Management modules, tend to be composed of individuals
who have considerable expertise in that arena. Members
of these committees have spent a fairly significant amount
of time working in retail, and like the LPQualified most
of that time was spent in loss prevention.
- Leadership Principles coursework committee
- Business Principles coursework committee
- LP Operations coursework committee
- Supply Chain coursework committee
- Crisis Management coursework committee
Other Committees:
Academic Committee
This committee is comprised of academicians from
leading universities. This groups role is to review the
content for the certifications, as well as, advise the
LP Foundation staff in our marketing & outreach plans
for two (2) and four (4) year college students.
Membership Committee
This committee will assist the staff in developing the
Career Center, as well as, other membership benefits.
Members of this committee will also assist in membership
recruitment.
Requirements & Exemptions Committee
(Board nomination necessary)
This committee advises the Foundation and makes recommendations
to the Foundations Board of Directors as to what the requirements
will be for both the LPCqualified and the LPCcertified.
Getting Involved
As you have seen above, the Loss Prevention Foundation
has several different ways you can contribute to the loss
prevention industry’s certification program. The
council and the committees meet up to two times a year,
and are called upon to review sections of the coursework
throughout the year. While your participation is invaluable
to the effort, the Foundation makes sure to minimize the
amount of time that is required on each committee.
