Angelica
Rodriguez, Director of Loss Prevention
for the National Retail Federation, moves on to help develop and
support the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
 Over
the last 25 years the National Retail Federation has certainly
excelled at developing and building one of the strongest and
deepest support organizations for the retail Loss Prevention
industry in the U.S. and North America. Their unparalleled
growth and unwavering commitment to this industry was never more
apparent then when they staffed a second support position at a
Director level to assist their then Vice President of Loss
Prevention, Joe LaRocca in 2007. As an industry first, two
dynamic and dedicated executives focused on supporting and
facilitating industry growth, representation, and on nurturing
and delivering the largest Loss Prevention convention in the
western hemisphere.
Since that time we've all benefited from their efforts both
individually and as a profession. And now as is the case with
all things, we face change, as Angelica Rodriguez, the NRF's
Dir. of Loss Prevention has announced her departure and she'll
be joining the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF).
NLEOMF is dedicated to honoring and remembering the service and
sacrifice of law enforcement officers in the U.S. The Memorial
Fund built the nation’s monument to law enforcement officers
killed in the line of duty, hosts National Police Week and is in
the middle of a campaign to build the first-ever National Law
Enforcement Museum, which is scheduled to open in 2015.
Considering the evolution of her career and seeing her selection
for her next position is testimony enough to her sense of
dedication and to her deep desire to make a difference in our
extended community. Obviously the last 7.5 years of involvement
in the Loss Prevention community has made an impact on her and
to see her make this choice makes many of us very proud of her
and to know that she'll be continuing to help support and
develop such a worthy cause is one that we should all applaud.
During her tenure many of us have had the absolute pleasure and
honor to work with her and we've seen first hand the value she's
added to this industry, to the NRF, and to the individual
executives she's worked with. Dedicated to learning, willing to
face adversity, and always driven by her heart, Angelica made a
difference and helped our industry grow. And while we'll miss
her in our industry group, we can all take great pride in the
fact that we too helped her grow and go on to help those that
truly paid the price at keeping our nation safe.
We wish you the best Angelica, and we're confident you'll
continue to make a difference with a cause that's close to all
of our hearts.
Here's just a few comments from those whom you've worked with:
From Rich Mellor, VP,
Loss Prevention, NRF
Angelica has worked for the members of the NRF for more than
seven years providing valuable assistance in connecting
retailers who learn from each other and share information
through meetings and business relationships. She has helped link
government agencies and law enforcement with retailers providing
information and resources during emergencies such hurricanes and
other disasters.
Angelica has been a committed individual on our team advancing
the educational content for our members and the broader
industry, facilitating surveys and white papers and sharing this
information through loss prevention networks. The NRF will
continue the mission of providing education, facilitating
networking and advocating for retailers but we will miss
Angelica's personal touch.
We at the NRF wish her the very best in her new position at the
National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund.
From Gary Johnson,
Chairman NRF's LP Advisory Council
On behalf of the entire LP Advisory Council, I want to thank
Angelica for her tireless efforts at bringing our Council
initiatives to life. In her 7 years with the NRF, she was been a
staunch supporter and advocate for our profession and as a "non
LP person" she embraced and immersed herself in learning our
Industry. Her efforts have made a difference and she will be
missed. We wish her great success in her new endeavor!
From Joe LaRocca, Sr.
Advisor, RetaiLPartners, Former VP, Loss Prevention, NRF
Angelica has been instrumental to the overall
success of the NRF's Loss Prevention program over the past seven
years. She is extremely talented and we are fortunate to have
her continued partnership at the NLEOMF.
From Bill Titus, VP
Loss Prevention, Sears Holdings, Former
Chairman NRF's LP Advisory
Council
Angelica has been the heart and soul of the
NRF Loss Prevention Team and a fantastic support to the LP
Advisory Council. She was instrumental in supporting me on the
council and during my time as a Vice Chair and then Chair of the
Council. I wish Angelica the best in her next step on her career
journey!
