ATLANTA — The Electronic Security Association (ESA) will host “Competing for a Cause,” a fundraiser for the Foundation to Advanced Security Talent (FAST), on June 16 from 8 to 9:30 p.m. at Good Game Restaurant and Bar, powered by Topgolf Swing Suite, as a special feature in its ESX 2025 lineup.
FAST, a non-profit organization, was created by ESA and the Security Industry Association (SIA) to “promote careers in the physical security technology industry,” according to the association announcement.
“By working through FAST and fostering strong partnerships with educational institutions, offering comprehensive training programs and supporting career development, supporters can create a robust talent pipeline that meets the demands of the security industry,” the announcement says.
