LOS ANGELES — DialXS CEO Chris Visser won ASACP's Service Recognition Award at the 2026 XMA Awards.
The ASACP Service Recognition Award was created to honor the dedicated volunteers who have supported the association’s mission of protecting children and at-risk youth by providing essential assistance and services.
"I always look forward to presenting ASACP's Service Recognition Award," said its Executive Director, Tim Henning. "It’s a privilege to honor such a caring and dedicated group of individuals who tirelessly work to improve online child safety. For 2026, I am proud to recognize DialXS CEO Chris Visser for his exceptional efforts in supporting online child safety and his generosity in supporting the association’s travel and outreach. ASACP and I are most grateful for Chris’s efforts and those of all others who help keep kids safer online. It is a huge effort, and one in which we can use all the help we can get."
Visser enthused about the honor, and in his acceptance speech, he noted that ASACP’s impact is real and powerful, as 1.3 million reports since 2003 have helped protect thousands of children worldwide.
"This year, we celebrate 30 years of ASACP," he said. "I feel very small next to such a long journey, but I’m truly grateful to be part of it. To Alec Helmy — thank you for creating this in 1996. I don’t know you well, but I deeply respect the vision you started. To the whole team, including all Advisory and European Advisory Council members — your quiet, constant work, availability, feedback, and support truly touch my heart and humble me.
"ASACP plays an important role in the world, and as its Travel Sponsor, I try to help Tim [and new team member Michelle Marriott] keep in personal contact with sponsors, members, and the industry at large, around the world," added Visser. "I’ve always chosen to stay in the background and help where I’m needed, and I will continue along that way. I hope you’ll join me in becoming a proud supporter of ASACP’s efforts and its important role [in the community]."
