ESA recognizes 2023 Executive Strategic Partners

DALLAS—The Electronic Security Association’s (ESA’s) Executive Strategic Partners invest annually in the association to grow important initiatives, improve our members’ businesses, and take the industry to greater heights.

Without these partnerships, ESA – a non-profit organization - would not be able to fulfill its mission to provide high-quality resources, advocacy, connections, and education for electronic security and life safety professionals. 

“These visionary partners are helping their customers and prospective customers to grow and optimize their businesses, ensuring the oldest trade association in the industry continues to gain traction as an advocate for the pro-installing community,” ESA said. “They have been a huge support to ESA and the industry at large for years. 

As 2023 comes to a close, ESA is honoring these partners for their support and recognizing their efforts in its Executive Strategic Partnership Program by sharing some words they have for the community.

“We’re proud to continue to be a strategic partner of the Electronic Security Association, and to help provide resources, advocacy, connections and education for electronic security and life safety professionals,” said Scott Harkins, vice president of sales, Resideo. “As families and businesses continue to recover from a turbulent couple of years – with additional uncertainty ahead, supporting our professional industry with trends, education and resources is essential as they continue to protect what matters most.”
