What is the SSI Industry Hall of Fame?
Established in 2004 to represent the ultimate recognition for performance excellence, the SSI Hall of Fame (HOF) annually enshrines those uncommon people who have etched out an indelible impression within the profession, sustained over the course of an entire career.
These rare persons’ dedication and accomplishments make them uniquely irreplaceable. They are the innovators whose impact has molded and transformed the industry into the thriving, vibrant business it is today. Any worthy candidate from any area of the electronic security industry (dealers, manufacturers, distributors, monitoring, business, etc.) is eligible for election.
“The SSI Industry Hall of Fame celebrates tastemakers and influencers, world-changers and difference-makers,” says Dan Ferrisi, group director of content + editorial, industrial + tech, of Emerald. “It’s the crowning achievement of a security professional’s career, and it’s Security Sales & Integration’s honor to induct five more Hall of Famers into this elite group.
“Congratulations to Darryl Keeler, John Nemerofsky, Tricia Parks, Ira Riklis and Steve Rubin on earning their place among just 140 legendary figures in the history of this great industry. We look forward to celebrating all of these honorees on Thursday afternoon at ISC West,” he says.
