McLEAN, Va. — The Monitoring Association (TMA) 2021 Annual Meeting will feature a keynote address by Jennifer F. Scanlon, president and CEO of UL.

The Annual Meeting will be held Oct. 9-13 at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Scanlon is scheduled to speak on Oct. 11.
“UL has long been a trusted partner of TMA,” says TMA President Don Young. “Working in close collaboration with one another for many decades, our organizations have worked to develop key guidelines and standards for the monitoring industry. Likewise, we have jointly addressed critical issues facing providers of monitoring and life safety equipment and services. Most recently, we worked hand-in-hand to address the needs and challenges of monitoring centers at the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic. I am very pleased and honored to have Ms. Scanlon as our 2021 keynote speaker.”
Prior to UL, Scanlon was president and CEO of USG Corp., where she also served as CIO. She led the company through a major international expansion, digital transformation, and sustainable evolution, enhancing its ability to meet customer needs.
