Standing still may give us comfort but if we don’t move forward with new ways to address our challenges we may be lost in our own shadow.

[/mk_fancy_title][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=”false”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The foundation of EnergySec was established over a decade ago as relationships formed between a group of information security, physical security, disaster recovery and business continuity professionals from energy organizations in the Pacific Northwest. Initially, a small group met for lunch to discuss the security challenges they were all facing. The idea was simple, share common security practices for the purpose of learning from each other.
As news spread about the lunch meetings, more people wanted to join and it quickly outgrew the informal setting. EnergySec Northwest, better known as E-Sec NW, was formed in early 2004. An online forum and quarterly meetings were established to give security professionals more time together and better ways to share information with each other.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]In 2005, E-Sec NW hosted its first annual summit. The two-day event was a success from the beginning. There was no other meeting of its kind being held at the time. The summit promoted open and honest dialog, creative ideas, and collaborative solutions designed to benefit as many as possible. The summit especially appealed to the “boots on the ground” security practitioners who, prior to this time, had found themselves isolated at their respective organizations.
As interest continued to grow across North America the “northwest” was dropped from the name to embrace the burgeoning role as a national information sharing organization for the energy sector. Attendance at the annual summit continued to grow every year and new relationships developed with product and service vendors, government agencies and academic institutions.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#336699″ bg_stretch=”true” video_color_mask=”#336699″ min_height=”0″ padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ first_page=”false” last_page=”false” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”green” spacing=”” alignment=”center” active_section=”1″ pagination_style=”outline-square” no_fill_content_area=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Leadership” tab_id=”1502223427085-b5912953-26d0″][mk_employees rounded_image=”false” grayscale_image=”false” order=”ASC” name_color=”#ffffff” position_color=”#ffffff” about_color=”#ffffff” social_color=”#ffffff” categories=”leadership”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Staff” tab_id=”1502225526847-3a882b1f-47a4″][mk_employees rounded_image=”false” grayscale_image=”false” count=”105″ order=”ASC” name_color=”#ffffff” position_color=”#ffffff” about_color=”#ffffff” social_color=”#ffffff” categories=”staff”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Board of Directors” tab_id=”1502223563029-3579ce69-a7d9″][mk_employees rounded_image=”false” grayscale_image=”false” order=”ASC” name_color=”#ffffff” position_color=”#ffffff” about_color=”#ffffff” social_color=”#ffffff” categories=”directors”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Board of Advisors” tab_id=”1502223427217-e3cfe990-6a90″][mk_employees column=”5″ rounded_image=”false” grayscale_image=”false” count=”-1″ description=”false” order=”ASC” orderby=”menu_order” name_color=”#ffffff” position_color=”#ffffff” about_color=”#ffffff” social_color=”#ffffff” categories=”advisors”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Associations” tab_id=”1502223578177-8f4c147f-50e6″][mk_employees column=”4″ rounded_image=”false” grayscale_image=”false” description=”false” order=”ASC” name_color=”#ffffff” position_color=”#ffffff” about_color=”#ffffff” social_color=”#ffffff” categories=”associations”][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https://www.energysec.org/files/2015/06/power_plant_by_hausi77.jpg” attachment=”fixed” bg_position=”center bottom” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” video_color_mask=”rgba(0,0,0,0.7)” video_opacity=”0.8″ top_shadow=”true” min_height=”150″ padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”120″ first_page=”false” last_page=”false” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#336699″ min_height=”0″ padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ first_page=”false” last_page=”false” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h6″ color=”#ffffff” size=”26″ font_weight=”300″ txt_transform=”capitalize” margin_top=”60″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”Montserrat” font_type=”google”]Join Our Fast Growing Membership Base Today![/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][mk_padding_divider size=”30″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” align=”center”]Memberships Start At[/vc_column_text][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”43″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none”]$1,195/YR[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][mk_padding_divider size=”50″][vc_btn title=”Get Started!” style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”green” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.energysec.org%2Fmembership%2F|||”][/vc_column][/mk_page_section]
