SILVER SPRING, Md. – The Security Industry Association (SIA) has named ASSA ABLOY as the recipient of the 2020 Member of the Year Award.
The award honors SIA member companies that have shown noteworthy involvement in SIA committees and working groups, SIA events and the SIA Education@ISC conference program, as well as leadership activity, recruitment of SIA members, and contributions to SIA thought leadership and the industry overall, according to an announcement.
SIA will present ASSA ABLOY with the award at The Advance, SIA’s annual membership meeting, during ISC West. The company is a regular sponsor of key SIA events, including the Market Leaders Reception at ISC West, SIA GovSummit and Securing New Ground.
“SIA is proud to honor ASSA ABLOY as the 2020 SIA Member of the Year and applauds the company for its invaluable engagement, thought leadership efforts and contributions to SIA, our members and the security industry overall,” says Scott Schafer, chairman of the SIA Board of Directors. “Thanks in large part to the outstanding support of members like ASSA ABLOY, SIA is able to continue building on its robust suite of resources, programming and education and training offerings to better serve our members and the industry.”

“ASSA ABLOY is honored to receive SIA’s Member of the Year Award. Since serving on the SIA Board of Directors, my eyes have been opened to the significant resources and services provided by the SIA management team and staff under the leadership of Don Erickson and Scott Schafer,” says Martin Huddart, head of smart residential for ASSA ABLOY. “I have also been impressed by the vast network of member volunteers who work on important committees and support SIA events — I think this is a reflection of the relevance and vitality of this trade association. I’d like to thank not only the ASSA ABLOY volunteers that led to this recognition, but all SIA members who contribute their time to the advancement of security in the workplace and in our homes. We shouldn’t forget that our collective impact makes a real difference in the world.”
