George De Marco has been presented the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) President’s Award for his dedication to the association. Presented by NBFAA President George Gunning, the award acknowledges De Marco’s involvement in developing California’s apprenticeship program, NBFAA’s apprenticeship program and his other efforts to support the association.
Currently the NBFAA nominating committee chairman, De Marco served on the Chartered State Association ad hoc committee that was responsible for reviewing the California chapter apprenticeship program and making recommendations of improvement to the NBFAA Board of Directors. He has also helped garner support and sponsorships for NBFAA events like the annual conferences in Las Vegas and New York City.
“George has provided me with tremendous support in my role as president and his work behind the scenes in many areas has greatly increased the professionalism of the industry,” says Gunning.
NBFAA also recently presented leadership awards to Counte Cooley, Electronic Sales Company; Mike Miller, Moon Security Services Inc.; and David Koenig, Capitol Fire & Security Inc., for their service and dedication to the association during their terms on the NBFAA Executive Committee.
Cooley is finishing his second two-year term as vice president on the executive committee. He has also served as a member on the NBFAA Strategic Planning Committee and is a past president of the Georgia Burglar & Fire Alarm Association.
Koenig’s two-year term as vice president on the executive committee has also come to an end. In addition to his service on the executive committee, he served as an NBFAA board member from Wisconsin (1991-1993 and 2002-2005) and was recognized by NBFAA in 1993 as Professional Alarm Technician of the Year.
Miller is wrapping up his term as treasurer on the executive committee, a position he has held for seven years. He also serves as chairman of the investment committee and is the past chair of both the NBFAA Public Relations Committee and the False Alarm Committee. Miller served the Washington Burglar & Fire Alarm Association as president for four years and then as past president for another four. He was the 2005 recipient of NBFAA’s Sara E. Jackson Award.
