Electronic security cooperative PSA Security Network elected Mike Kobelin, director of sales for Aronson Security Group (ASG), as chairman of the board during its recent shareholder meeting at the 2009 PSA-TEC in St. Charles, Ill.
Mark Olive, owner of Eales Electronics, has been selected as the vice chairman. Both men will serve two-year terms on the board.
“Now, more than ever, best-in-class integrators must work together to capitalize on the window of opportunity that advancements in technology, practices and distribution have presented to the security market,” Kobelin says.
Kobelin said his goal is to work with the PSA Board of Directors and management team to continue the cooperative’s momentum and enhanced services and new products to its members.
“I am also excited about our commitment to make PSA Distribution an important part of our business; this new line of business fits into our strategic plan of continuing to deliver increased equity to our owners, even in these tough economic times,” he says.
Daved Levine and Tim Feury were reelected as regional directors representing the western and southern regions, respectively. The PSA Board of Directors also appointed Kurt Will, president of Will Electronics, to complete the final year of Mark Olive’s term as director representing the central region. Past Chairman Gary Venable, Sr. will remain on the board.
The eight-member board represents more than 200 member companies, which are responsible for more than $1.7 billion in aggregate annual sales of electronic security and life safety installations nationwide.
