Jennefer Witter is the communications chair for the Women in Security Group of ASIS International, the preeminent organization for security professionals. She is an active member of 85 Broads, a global networking group for professional women, and served as the chair of the organization’s
Washington, DC Chapter. Jennefer also served on the board of directors for the African American Real Estate Professionals of DC. Jennefer never took a business class and never had a desire to
be an entrepreneur. Her entrepreneurial journey began in 2003 when she founded The Boreland Group. What she learned was that she has a natural ability for business, which was greatly honed in
her former position as a vice president at Ketchum, a global public relations firm where she launched the Corporate Technology division. It generated one million dollars of revenue in its first year.
