Purpose:To honor the legendary late Jim Zimmer, a titan of legislative advocacy for the investigative and security professions, and to help preserve his legacy. Jim was a staunch supporter of NCISS and made extra effort to not only ensure the PI and security professions had strong representation when it comes to legislation, but to also make advocacy approachable to the less experienced. This scholarship will ensure finances are not a barrier to participating in legislative advocacy to those who wish to become involved in the support of NCISS.
