The Southern Connecticut Chapter of the American Society for Industrial Security was founded in 1962, having split off from the Connecticut Chapter of the Society, which itself was founded in approximately 1956. The two men who setup this chapter were Joseph Tobin, who then worked for American Machine and Foundry in Greenwich CT, and Francis Hasson, Jr. who was Security Director for AVCO in Stamford, CT.
The first Chairman of the Chapter was Frank Hasson with Joe Tobin as his Vice Chairman. For those members who lived in lower Connecticut. Other founding members who were officers in the first two years were Lou King from Sikorsky Aircraft, Henry Grady from American Cyanamid, and Fred Schaeffer from General Instrument Corporation.
