EXECUTIVE PERSPECTIVE Time for Renewal — and Celebration I t’s been a good year for ALOA. We had a successful ALOA Conven- tion and Security Expo in Reno filled with fun events, industry-leading educa- tion and exhibitors to help you stay on top of the latest security products. Thanks to all who participated and gave us feedback on the convention, and we look forward to stepping it up even more for next year. As you’ll see in this issue, we’re also getting ready to open the Aaron M. Fish Security Training Center, giving our members and industry a standing loca- tion for affordable, relevant education in classrooms equipped for hands-on training. A giant thank you to all of our sponsors and members who have made this possible. There has never been a more excit- ing time to be an ALOA member. We’ve stepped up our educational game and made financial gains. We’re listening and giving you, our members, more o you want. Indeed, we’re the new a newed ALOA.
