This week, Securis was able to host the NPMA NOVA (National Property Managers Association – Northern Virginia Chapter) for their Chapter Elections meeting. 20 attendees enjoyed lunch, a data destruction shredding demonstration, and were able to bring personal and business hard drives, cell phones, and other electronics for data destruction and recycling.

A Successful Food Drive

Prior to the meeting, attendees were invited to bring non-perishable food items to benefit Northern Virginia Family Services. We’re pleased to announce that the short event generated $220 and a full trunk of food for those in need.

Giving back is an important mission for the NPMA and for Securis. With the holidays and colder weather approaching, people feel more pressure than ever to provide for their families. Being able to help alleviate hunger through food collection efforts such as this brings our community closer together.
