Addi- tionally, ASIS was sponsoring more than a dozen yearly work- shops, an average of 2,000 security professionals were attending the Annual Seminar and Exhibits, and the Certified Protection Profes- sional® (CPP) designation was taking flight. As the Society approached its 30th anniversary in 1984, member- ship had increased by about 5,000 per year, with an average renewal rate of 85 percent. The number of CPPs hit 2,845. The number of chapters had increased to 144. In all, 57 new chapters—including 12 outside the United States—would be chartered during the decade. To keep the size of chapters manageable and to improve acces- sibility for members, new chapters were also spun off from existing ones. The Washington, D.C., Chapter (now the National Capital Chapter), for example, spawned the Fredericksburg/ Quan tico Chapter in 1982.
